The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a key subcellular compartment involved in the folding and maturation of around one-third of the total proteome. Accumulation of misfolded proteins in the ER lumen engages a signal transduction ...

Introduction: The accumulation of misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) generates a stress condition that engages the unfolded protein response (UPR). The UPR is an adaptive reaction that aims to reestablish ...

The unfolded protein response (UPR) comprises a network of signalling pathways that reprogramme transcription, translation and protein modifications to relieve the load of unfolded or misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic ...

Parkinson's disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, leading to the progressive decline of motor control due to the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. At the molecular ...

The unfolded protein response (UPR) is a conserved adaptive reaction that increases cell survival under conditions of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. The UPR controls diverse processes such as protein folding, secretion, ...

Unfolded protein response (UPR) is a signaling mechanism activated by misfolded protein accumulation in the endoplasmic reticulum. It is a widespread process that has been described in organisms ranging from yeasts to ...

Alterations in the buffering capacity of the proteostasis network are a salient feature of Alzheimer's disease, associated with the occurrence of chronic endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. To cope with ER stress, cells ...

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to mitochondria communication has emerged in recent years as a signaling hub regulating cellular physiology with a relevant contribution to diseases including cancer and neurodegeneration. This ...
