The expected outcomes will provide important advances in understanding of how the mammalian body maintains the normal structure/function of extracellular proteins. This information may ultimately aid in the design of agents to be used to clear the body of pathological protein aggregates - potentially providing a direct economic benefit to Australia. The high novelty and broad significance of this work indicate that it will produce high-impact publications which will tangibly assist Australia being recognized as a major contributor to world research outcomes. This project will also provide a direct social benefit by training research students with the skills necessary to further the development of biological research in Australia.

预期的结果将提供重要的进展，了解哺乳动物身体如何维持细胞外蛋白的正常结构/功能。这些信息最终可能有助于设计用于清除体内病理性蛋白质聚集体的药物-可能为澳大利亚提供直接的经济利益。这项工作的高度新奇和广泛意义表明，它将产生高影响力的出版物，这将切实有助于澳大利亚被公认为世界研究成果的主要贡献者。该项目还将提供直接的社会效益，通过培训研究生，使其掌握促进澳大利亚生物研究发展所需的技能。
