Abstract excerpt
ER stress is associated with a range of pathological conditions, among which, the ischemia/reperfusion injury is also found. The mechanistic array of links among the ER stress and thrombovascular diseases is poorly understood. The XBP1 gene is a transcription factor which modulates the ER stress response; and the XBP1 (-116 C/G) gene polymorphism causes an impairment of its positive feedback system. In the...
