The team did these experiments in yeast cells, which are easy to grow and quick to reproduce. One next step is to investigate whether this same pathway is used in mammalian cells to clear human disease-related proteins.
pH derangement and salt derangement both promote protein misfolds. Someone please do a study on the possibility of reducing misfolds and encouraging refolds via correcting chemical derangement in the cell.
