Cellular protein homeostasis (proteostasis) is maintained by a broad network of proteins involved in synthesis, folding, triage, repair and degradation. Chief among these are molecular chaperones and their cofactors that act as powerful protein remodelers. The growing realization that many human pathologies are fundamentally diseases of protein misfolding (proteopathies) has generated interest in understanding how the proteostasis network impacts onset and progression of these diseases. In this ...[more]
