"The Networking of Chaperones by Co-chaperones" updates the current understanding of how chaperones are regulated and networked, and is a resource for those in the specialized field of cell stress and chaperones. The book will also be of interest to those in broader cross-cutting field such as cellular networks and systems biology.

From the reviews:
"‘Networking of chaperones by co-chaperones’ is the first published volume dedicated solely to cochaperones. … This volume contains 11 chapters on separate topics contributed by authorities in the field. … Each contains a brief, but very informative introduction to the topic; an excellent aid for newcomers to the field. … This reviewer found all of the chapters to be very readable and thought-provoking. … it is highly recommended for both newcomers and senior investigators in this field."
