title: Protein-specific chaperones: the role of hsp47 begins to gel.
abstract: Collagen biosynthesis involves a complex series of post-translational modifications, controlled by a number of general and specific molecular chaperones. A recent study has shed new light on the role played in this process by the procollagen-specific chaperone Hsp47.
