Co-chaperones play a crucial role in the outcome of chaperone-assisted protein homeostasis, a dynamic process that ensures precise regulation of protein folding, degradation, and translocation to maintain cellular function. This third edition of The Networking of Chaperones by Co-chaperones delves into the intricate regulation of major molecular chaperones by co-chaperones, a diverse group of non-client proteins. Since the second edition was published, significant advancements have been made in understanding how co-chaperones act as nodes to network and functionalize chaperones. Moreover, a growing understanding of their broader biological functions has begun to unfold.

The third edition of this book offers fresh and updated chapters that highlight recent developments and emerging themes related to co-chaperones. These chapters explore their extracellular functions, their role in human diseases, and their potential as putative drug targets. Whether you are a newcomer or an established researcher in the field of cell stress and chaperones, or if you have an interest in cross-cutting disciplines such as cellular networks and systems biology, this book serves as a valuable resource.
