About this Book

Networking of Chaperones by Co-Chaperones updates the current understanding of how chaperones are regulated and networked, and is a resource for those in the specialized field of cell stress and chaperones. The book will also be of interest to those in broader cross-cutting field such as cellular networks and systems biology.
