Klappentext This 2005 text reviews understanding of the biological roles of extracellular molecular chaperones. Zusammenfassung Every living cell contains special proteins called molecular chaperones that help proteins fold and allow cells to survive stress. It has been shown that these same proteins also act as biological messengers with many and varied functions. This volume was the first to describe this new signalling activity.
