Abstract excerpt
The accumulation of aberrantly folded proteins can lead to cell dysfunction and death. Currently, the mechanisms of toxicity and cellular defenses against their effects remain incompletely understood. In the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), stress caused by misfolded proteins activates the unfolded protein response (UPR). The UPR is an ER-to-nucleus signal transduction pathway that regulates a wide variety of target...
