Chaperone networks: Tipping the balance in protein folding diseases

Adult-onset neurodegeneration and other protein conformational diseases are associated with the appearance, persistence, and accumulation of misfolded and aggregation-prone proteins. To protect the proteome from long-term damage, the cell expresses a highly integrated protein homeostasis (proteostas...
