Proteins might misfold during translation and folding or even once they are in their native states, due to stochastic fluctuations, destabilizing mu-tations or cellular stress. Aberrant protein species are usually detected and either refolded or cleared by the protein quality control machinery (Ciechanover and Kwon, 2015). When misfolded protein conformers cannot be degraded, they tend to self-assemble to form aggregates, a characteristic of many neurodegenerative diseases.
