[email protected] Abstract: Neuroinflammation is implicated in central nervous system (CNS) diseases, but the molec- ular mechanisms involved are poorly understood. Progress may be accelerated by developing a comprehensive view of the pathogenesis of CNS disorders, including the immune and the chaperone systems (IS and CS). The latter consists of the molecular chaperones; cochaperones; and chaperone cofactors, interactors, and receptors of an organism and its main collaborators in maintaining protein homeostasis (canonical function) are the ubiquitin–proteasome system and chaperone-mediated Citation: Alberti, G.; Paladino, L.; autophagy. The CS has also noncanonical functions, for instance, modulation of the IS with induction Vitale, A.M.; Caruso Bavisotto, C.; of proinflammatory cytokines.
