Targeting ER stress/ER stress response in myopathies
There is more skeletal muscle tissue in the body than any other tissue and, as it is the organ of the majority of metabolic activity, muscle defect can affect the health of the entire body.

The hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP) generates metabolites for protein N- and O-glycosylation. Wang et al. and Denzel et al. report a hitherto unknown link between the HBP and stress in the endoplasmic reticulum. These studies establish the HBP as a critical component of the cellular machinery of protein homeostasis.

ER Stress and Angiogenesis [PDF]
Proper tissue vascularization is vital for cellular function as it delivers oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and immune cells and helps to clear cellular debris and metabolic waste products. Tissue angiogenesis occurs to satisfy energy requirements and cellular sensors of metabolic imbalance coordinate vessel growth.

The normal operation of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is critical for cells and organisms. However, ER stress, caused by imbalanced protein folding, occurs frequently, which perturbs the function of the ER and even results in cell apoptosis eventually ...

Myristic acid potentiates palmitic acid-induced lipotoxicity and steatohepatitis associated with lipodystrophy by sustaning de novo ceramide synthesis. [PDF]
Palmitic acid (PA) induces hepatocyte apoptosis and fuels de novo ceramide synthesis in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Myristic acid (MA), a free fatty acid highly abundant in copra/palmist oils, is a predictor of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and

ER Stress and Effects of DHA as an ER Stress Inhibitor [PDF]
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) functions in the synthesis, folding, modification, and transport of newly synthesized transmembrane and secretory proteins. The ER also has important roles in the storage of intracellular Ca(2+) and regulation of Ca(2+) homeostasis.

The endoplasmic reticulum in plant immunity and cell death [PDF]
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a highly dynamic organelle in eukaryotic cells and a major production site of proteins destined for vacuoles, the plasma membrane, or apoplast in plants.

ERK1/2 signalling protects against apoptosis following endoplasmic reticulum stress but cannot provide long-term protection against BAX/BAK-independent cell death. [PDF]
Disruption of protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) causes ER stress. Activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR) acts to restore protein homeostasis or, if ER stress is severe or persistent, drive apoptosis, which is thought to proceed

Cell Death Signaling From Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress: Plant-Specific and Conserved Features
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response is triggered by any condition that disrupts protein folding and promotes the accumulation of unfolded proteins in the lumen of the organelle.
