Abstract

Protein folding is a highly orchestrated process crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis. However, aberrant protein folding can lead to misfolding, resulting in the accumulation of misfolded proteins and contributing to the pathogenesis of various diseases. This review explores the intricate mechanisms of protein folding, the consequences of misfolding, and the therapeutic strategies aimed at addressing protein misfolding disorders.
