In Vivo Profiling Reveals a Competent Heat Shock Response in Adult Neurons: Implications for Neurodegenerative Disorders.
The heat shock response (HSR) is the main pathway used by cells to counteract proteotoxicity.The inability of differentiated neurons to induce an HSR has been documented in primary neuronal cultures and has been proposed to play a critical role in ageing and neurodegeneration.However, this accepted dogma has not been demonstrated in vivo.We used op
