Springer HSF1 and Molecular Chaperones in Biology and Cancer

Explore the essential role of protein homeostasis, or proteostasis, in human health and disease with this scientific volume from Springer. This book examines how the proteostasis network supports cell health and physiological fitness by managing everything from the folding of single polypeptide chains to the regulation of intracellular signaling pathways. Understanding these processes is vital for medical research, as cancer cells often hijack the proteostasis network to sustain tumor growth and spread. This text provides a deep look into how these mechanisms function within biological systems and how they are exploited by malignant cells. Written by world experts, the chapters cover many facets of the proteostasis network and its connection to cancer biology. This resource is an important addition for medical professionals, researchers, and students studying the complex relationship between molecular chaperones and disease progression.
