DOI: 10.1002/advs.201801982
Abstract: Abstract Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in mammals and is crucial for the mechanical integrity of tissues. Hsp47, an endoplasmic reticulum resident collagen‐specific chaperone, is involved in collagen biosynthesis and plays a fundamental… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/14728222.2021.1861249
Abstract: Introduction: Chronic fibrotic disorders are challenging clinical problems. The major challenge is the identification of specific targets expressed selectively in fibrotic tissues to avoid potential side effects of inhibiting ubiquitous factors in healthy tissues. Extensive… read more here.

Abstract: Chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT) is characterized by multiorgan fibrosis and profoundly affects the quality of life of transplant survivors. Heat shock protein 47 (HSP47), a collagen-specific molecular chaperone,… read more here.

Abstract: Heat shock protein 47 (HSP47), encoded by the SERPINH1 gene, is a molecular chaperone essential for correct folding of collagens. We report a homozygous p.(R222S) substitution in HSP47 in a child with severe osteogenesis imperfecta… read more here.
