A small but growing cohort of scientists suspects that if this style of misfolding is a generic property of proteins, it's likely to play a role in normal biology. (sciencemag.org)
This schematic diagram shows the heat shock protein 90 (HSP90), which has been shown to help malignant cells accommodate the genetic changes and profound disturbances in normal biology that occur in cancers. (wi.mit.edu)
The researchers suggest this disrupts the normal biology of the cell and thus producing tumor cells. (sciencedaily.com)
