Abstract

The importance of small heat shock protein HSP in geroscience is increasing. We believe that research progress from life science should contribute to well-being. Molecular chaperone studies are considered superior when performed on model substrates and model animals. However, by itself, concrete measures for extending the healthy life of human beings are not provided. It is important to analyze the cell-animal-human results, interpret the relationship, and promote comprehensively studied HSP research. αB-crystallin (CRYAB) was identified for key molecule to explain the mechanism of exercise adaptation of slow-twitch muscle for a long ago. It is only human beings that stand up against gravity and move all day in their standing position. With CRYAB and tubulin/microtubule as a key word, we will introduce the principle of clarifying not only cells but also how to control the human body. Mechanistically fiber structure produced after protein assembly has not only multifunction but also is available as materials to make “body” and can sustain body weight by tension development at both micro- and macro-levels. This links cell’s autonomous regulating ability and human will to keep standing. This manuscript may contribute to develop a new direction of HSP Geroscience research proposing real program to healthy aging and mature human world.
