Abstract
Heat shock proteins are ubiquitous molecules that are expressed in all living organisms in response to stress. They have two specific roles: protection against cell damage and modulation of the immune response. Recent studies have dramatically increased our knowledge and understanding of the role of heat shock proteins in the genitourinary system. This review uses a Medline approach to examine the current literature.Entities:
