- Sahasrabudhe P, Rohrberg J, Biebl M, Rutz D, Buchner J. The Plasticity of the Hsp90 Co-chaperone System. Mol Cell. 2017;67:947-961.e5 pubmed publisher..Interestingly, some co-chaperones affect client conformation in vivo. Thus, co-chaperones adapt the Hsp90 cycle to the requirements of the client proteins, ensuring optimal activation. ..

Granulocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells from human cord blood modulate T-helper cell response towards an anti-inflammatory phenotype. Immunology. 2017;152:89-101 pubmed publisher..These results point towards a role of MDSC in regulating neonatal immune responses. Targeting MDSC function in neonates could be a therapeutic opportunity to improve neonatal host defence. ..
