Abstract excerpt
The accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) results in the condition called "ER stress," which induces the unfolded protein response (UPR), a complex cellular process that includes changes in expression of many genes. Failure to restore homeostasis in the ER is associated with human diseases. To identify the underlying changes in gene expression in response to ER stress,...
