Heat Shock Protein Can Restore Nerve Damage Caused by Diabetes

A study has shown that a heat shock protein, which increases in expression when cells are exposed to high temperatures or stress, is able to reverse the loss of function in the nerves of diabetic lab mice. The research, written by Michael J. Urban and colleagues at the University of Kansas, suggests that the protein, Hsp70 (pictured), can be used in the future to cure the numbness of the limbs that affects many dia
