Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Cell Stress and Chaperones publishes research on molecular chaperones, particularly heat shock proteins (HSPs) like Hsp70 and Hsp90, and their roles in protein homeostasis (proteostasis). The journal also covers endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, the unfolded protein response (UPR), and cellular responses to various stresses including hypoxia and heat shock. Additionally, it features studies on the therapeutic targeting of these pathways for diseases such as cancer, neurodegeneration, and inflammatory conditions.
