This fascinating Nature feature explores mutational buffering, especially the role of HSP90 and other heat-shock proteins in masking harmful variants, shaping disease risk, enabling tumour drug resistance, and even influencing evolution.
A sharp reminder that genotype is only part of the story—context, stress, and molecular chaperones matter too.Â
