Abstract excerpt
Protein misfolding has been linked to numerous inherited diseases. Loss- and gain-of-function mutations (common features of genetic diseases) may cause the destabilization of proteins, leading to alterations in their properties and/or cellular location, resulting in their incorrect functioning. Misfolded proteins can, however, be rescued via the use of proteostasis regulators and/or pharmacological chaperones,...
