Thanks for posting. Do you have a particular reason for suspecting that HSPs might have a role in this process? Have you done a literature review already?

Yes, I have read many journals that stated HSP70 played a crucial role in regeneration. I just need to figure out if higher levels of HSP70 benefit regeneration. Although, it has been found very high levels can lead to cancer and other diseases.

Marine Science / Do higher levels of HSP70 increase the rate of regeneration?

I'm doing on a project on starfish regeneration. I was just wondering if the heat shock protein HSP70 benefits regeneration? Does it increase the rate? Or is just the normal amount necessary?
Thank you!
