Abstract excerpt
Small heat-shock proteins, possessing chaperone-like activity, represented crucial proteins actively involved in maintain protein homeostasis, which act to prevent improper polypeptide aggregation and deposition of misfolded proteins. In this context, a number of mutations concerning the HspB1 protein proved to be associated with the development of several neuropathologies. Unfortunately, molecular mechanisms...
