For over two decades until the present time, new functions have been discovered and several molecular mechanisms have been elucidated for many chaperones, while the field is being continuously challenged by new open questions. Probably as a consequence of the increasing research on the molecular bases of neurodegenerative diseases, and the realisation that many such disorders are linked to protein misfolding processes, unleashing the roles and mechanisms of chaperones in the context of neurodegeneration has become a prime scientific goal. This e-book contains a diversity of reviews, perspective and original research articles highlighting the importance and potential of this emerging subject. 606 $aNeurosciences$2bicssc 610 $aamyloid protein 610 $aheat-shock protein 610 $aheat-shock response 610 $amolecular chaperone 610 $aneurodegeneration 610 $aneurodegenerative disease 610 $aneuroprotection 610 $aprotein misfolding 610 $aproteostasis 610 $atherapeutics 615 7$aNeurosciences 700 $aCintia Roodveldt$4auth$01320418 702 $aJanice E.
