Though the book's journey into The Hidden World of Protein Aggregation has come to an end, the search for knowledge, the development of healthier lives, and the discovery of nature's mysteries continue, promising new horizons and discoveries yet to be discovered. The intricacies of protein misfolding and aggregation remain a mystery in cellular biology, despite advances made in unraveling them. In this chapter, we will summarize the specific conclusions from the previous chapters and explore the persistent obstacles and unanswered questions that motivate scientists to pursue exploration of protein misfolding and aggregation.

Living systems cannot rely on random intermolecular approaches toward cell crowding, and hidden mechanisms must be present to favor only those molecular interactions required explicitly by the biological function. Electromagnetic messaging among proteins is proposed from the observation that charged amino acids located on the protein surface are mostly in adjacent sequence positions and/or in spatial proximity. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been used to predict electric charge proximities arising from concerted motions of charged amino acid side chains in two protein model systems, human ubiquitin and the chitinolytic enzyme from .

While cisplatin is an effective anti-tumor treatment, it induces ototoxicity through mechanisms involving DNA damage, oxidative stress, and programmed cell death. Rho-associated coiled-coil-containing protein kinase (ROCK) is essential for numerous cellular processes, including apoptosis regulation. Studies have suggested that ROCK inhibitors could prevent apoptosis and promote regeneration.

Unlabelled: Tenacibaculosis, caused by species, is a significant disease in aquaculture, leading to high mortality and economic losses. Antibiotic treatment raises concerns about resistance, making phage therapy an interesting alternative. Analyzing phage traces in genomes is crucial for developing these bacteriophage-based strategies.
