The ability of cells to preserve proteome stability progressively deteriorates with age even in the absence of disease.
Age-related deterioration of proteome maintenance likely contributes to aspects of normal aging.
Alterations in protein homeostasis mechanisms underlie the pathogenesis of severe human diseases including common neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.
There are current gaps in understanding the mechanisms responsible for proteome maintenance and opportunities for future discovery in this area.
Cells rely on precise protein homeostasis mechanisms to maintain a stable and functional proteome.
