Abstract
The search for immunosuppressant drugs to increase the success of organ transplantation led to the discovery of the immunophilins, proteins that interface with a range of signal transduction systems inside cells, especially in the nervous and immune systems. Here we review how these interesting molecules work and consider their therapeutic potential.Keywords
