Aims and Scope — Proteostasis Network

Published by Tomorrow's Research Publications (TRP)

Aims. Proteostasis Network covers how cells fold, maintain, and dispose of proteins, and what happens when that quality-control system breaks down — a mechanism increasingly central to understanding development, disease, and aging.

Scope. The journal covers:

• Protein folding, misfolding, and chaperone-mediated quality control
• The unfolded protein response (UPR) and endoplasmic reticulum stress
• Autophagy and the ubiquitin-proteasome system
• Protein aggregation in neurodegenerative disease (Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS)
• Proteostasis decline in aging and cellular senescence
• Heat shock response and stress-induced proteostasis mechanisms
• Small molecule and genetic modulators of proteostasis pathways
• Computational and structural methods for studying protein quality control

Article types. Original research, translational/therapeutic studies, and critical reviews.

Audience. Cell biologists, structural biologists, neurodegeneration researchers, and aging biologists.
