The unfolded protein response in multiple sclerosis
The unfolded protein response (UPR) occurs in response to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress caused by the accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins in the ER.

Dicarbonyl stress, protein glycation and the unfolded protein response
The reactive dicarbonyl metabolite, methylglyoxal (MG), is increased in obesity and diabetes and is implicated in the development of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus and vascular complications of diabetes.

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.

Fibrillary Glomerulonephritis, DNAJB9, and the Unfolded Protein Response
Background: Fibrillary glomerulonephritis (FGN) is found in approximately 1% of native kidney biopsies and was traditionally defined by glomerular deposition of fibrils larger than amyloid (12–24 nm diameter) composed of polyclonal IgG.

Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Unfolded Protein Response in Neurodegenerative Diseases
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an important organelle involved in protein quality control and cellular homeostasis. The accumulation of unfolded proteins leads to an ER stress, followed by an adaptive response via the activation of the unfolded ...

Visualization of protein-protein interactions in the secretory pathway of mammalian cells [PDF]
An increasing number of human disorders are being linked to mutations in components of the secretory pathway. One example is combined blood coagulation factor V and VIII deficiency, an autosomal recessive disorder leading to hemophilia due to markedly ...

The Unfolded Protein Response and its potential role in Huntington's disease
Huntington's disease (HD) is a progressive, neurodegenerative disease with fatal outcome. Although the disease-causing gene (huntingtin) has been known for some time, the exact cause of neuronal cell death is still unknown.

Green fluorescent protein-based monitoring of endoplasmic reticulum redox poise [PDF]
Pathological endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is tightly linked to the accumulation of reactive oxidants, which can be both upstream and downstream of ER stress.

Unfolded Protein Response and Macroautophagy in Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Prion Diseases
Proteostasis are integrated biological pathways within cells that control synthesis, folding, trafficking and degradation of proteins. The absence of cell division makes brain proteostasis susceptible to age-related changes and neurodegeneration. Two key
