Protein (Re)Folding and Aggregation

This special issue belongs to the section “Cell Biology and Pathology“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With this Special Issue, we intend to collect all contributions related to protein folding, refolding, and aggregation, with a special emphasis on those related to non-native aggregation associated with disease, such as Alzheimer’s disease and type II diabetes. In addition, non-native aggregation is important in pharmaceutical biotechnology, and control during refolding or storage is also of interest. Of particular interest will be articles or reviews focusing on a mechanistic understanding of events that contribute to or reduce aggregation both in vitro and in vivo.
