Chaperone Proteins: The Rising Players in Muscle Atrophy

Abstract excerpt

Despite significant progress in understanding the molecular aetiology of muscle atrophy, there is still a great need for new targets and drugs capable of counteracting muscle wasting. The role of an impaired proteostasis as the underlying causal mechanism of muscle atrophy is a well-established concept. From the earliest work on muscle atrophy and the identification of the first atrogenes, the hyper-activation of...
