Small heat shock proteins and neurodegeneration: recent developments

Members of the small heat shock protein (sHSP) family are molecular chaperones with a critical role in the maintenance of cellular homeostasis under unfavorable conditions. The chaperone properties of sHSPs prevent protein aggregation, and sHSP deregulation underlies the pathology of several disease...
