Journal Article
Mehta, T., Greenman, J., Ettelaie, C., Venkatasubramaniam, A., Chetter, I., & McCollum, P. (2005). Heat shock proteins in vascular disease - a review. European journal of vascular and endovascular surgery : the official journal of the European Society for Vascular Surgery, 29(4), 395-402. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejvs.2005.01.005

Introduction
There is growing evidence that heat shock proteins (HSPs), a family of stress-inducible proteins may be involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic vascular diseases. Here, we systematically review the evidence behind this notion.... Read More about Heat shock proteins in vascular disease - a review.
