ABSTRACT Background Neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA) comprises a genetically and clinically heterogeneous group of rare neurological disorders characterized particularly by iron accumulation in the basal ganglia. To date, 15 genes have been associated with NBIA.

Neuroprotection targeting protein misfolding on chronic cerebral hypoperfusion in the context of metabolic syndrome [PDF]
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of risk factors that lead to microvascular dysfunction and chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH). Long-standing reduction in oxygen and energy supply leads to brain hypoxia and protein misfolding, thereby linking CCH

Decreased Serum 5‐HT: Clinical Correlates and Regulatory Role in NMJ of MG
ABSTRACT Objective Although 5‐Hydroxytryptamine (5‐HT) indirectly stimulates muscle contraction and participates in regulating Acetylcholine receptor (AChR) cluster homeostasis in cellular, animal, and clinical studies, evidence regarding its potential to modulate muscle contraction in myasthenia gravis (MG) remains limited.

Yeast Bax Inhibitor, Bxi1p, Is an ER-Localized Protein that Links the Unfolded Protein Response and Programmed Cell Death in \u3cem\u3eSaccharomyces cerevisiae\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]
Bax inhibitor-1 (BI-1) is an anti-apoptotic gene whose expression is upregulated in a wide range of human cancers. Studies in both mammalian and plant cells suggest that the BI-1 protein resides in the endoplasmic reticulum and is involved in the ...

The adaptor protein CRK is a pro-apoptotic transducer of endoplasmic reticulum stress. [PDF]
Excessive demands on the protein-folding capacity of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) cause irremediable ER stress and contribute to cell loss in a number of cell degenerative diseases, including type 2 diabetes and neurodegeneration.

BLISTER-regulated vegetative growth is dependent on the protein kinase domain of ER stress modulator IRE1A in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
The unfolded protein response (UPR) is required for protein homeostasis in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) when plants are challenged by adverse environmental conditions.

A Spatially Resolved View on the Aging Substantia nigra: An Exploratory Proteomic Study
Although aging is the most important risk factor for several neurodegenerative diseases, the molecular effects of physiological aging are still understudied. By applying spatially‐resolved proteomic analyses of the human substantia nigra pars compacta, alterations in vesicular trafficking and mitochondrial proteins are observed, as well as reduced ...

Endoplasmic reticulum stress in liver disease
The unfolded protein response (UPR) is activated upon the accumulation of misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that are sensed by the binding immunoglobulin protein (BiP)/glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78). The accumulation of unfolded proteins sequesters BiP so it dissociates from three ER-transmembrane transducers leading to their ...
