Protein folding is an extremely complicated process, which has been extensively tackled during the last decades. In vivo, a certain molecular machinery is responsible for assisting the correct folding of proteins and maintaining protein homeostasis: the members of this machinery are the heat shock proteins (HSPs), which belong among molecular chaperones. Mutations in HSPs are associated with several inherited diseases, and members of this group were also proved to be involved in neurodegenerative pathologies (e.g., Alzheimer and Parkinson diseases), cancer, viral infections, and antibiotic resistance of bacteria. Therefore, it is critical to understand the principles of HSP functioning and their exact role in human physiology and pathology. This review attempts to briefly describe the main chaperone families and the interplay between individual chaperones, as well as their general and specific functions in the context of cell physiology and human diseases.
