Heat shock transcription factor-1 and heat shock protein 90: insights into post-insemination endometritis

CONTEXT: In mares, post-breeding endometritis is a major cause of embryo mortality. In other species, endometrial function and pathology seem to involve heat shock protein-90 (HSP90), a factor regulated by heat shock transcription factor-1 (HSF-1). AIMS: To study the relationship...
