Do HSPs Offer Therapeutic Potential in Toxicology?
HSPs offer therapeutic potential in toxicology by enhancing the cell's ability to cope with stress. Modulating HSP expression or function can be a strategy to protect cells from toxic damage. For example, HSP inducers can be used to precondition cells to withstand subsequent toxic insults, while inhibitors targeting HSPs might be used to sensitize cancer cells to chemotherapeutic agents.
