Functional amyloids are a rapidly expanding class of fibrillar protein structures, with a core
cross-β scaffold, where novel and advantageous biological function is generated by the …

The heat-shock proteins (Hsp) are a family of molecular chaperones, which collectively form
a network that is critical for the maintenance of protein homeostasis. Traditional ensemble-…

Community research into women’s experiences in the indoor commercial sex industry
illustrated an urgent need for sexually transmitted infection (STI) and HIV education, prevention, …

The aggregation of proteins into amyloid fibrils has been implicated in the pathogenesis of a
variety of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s …

Small heat shock proteins (sHsps) are a family of ubiquitous intracellular molecular chaperones;
some sHsp family members are upregulated under stress conditions and play a vital …

Introduction and Aims. Commercial sex workers (CSW) are often portrayed as vectors of
disease transmission. However, the role clients play in sexual risk taking and related decision …

Hydrophobins are remarkable proteins due to their ability to self-assemble into amphipathic
coatings that reverse surface wettability. Here, the versatility of the Class I hydrophobins …

Small heat shock proteins (sHsps) are a family of ubiquitous intracellular molecular chaperones
that are up-regulated under stress conditions and play a vital role in protein homeostasis …

Background: Indoor CSW are at high risk for HIV/STI. They are invisible to the public and
often ignored by service and research. Many CSW in Vancouver are migrant therefore it is …

Background Many studies have reported beneficial effects from the application of near-infrared
(NIR) light photobiomodulation (PBM) to the body, and one group has reported beneficial …
