A stress paradox: the dual role of the unfolded protein response in the placenta

Frontiers in Endocrinology
The placenta is a temporary organ that forms during pregnancy and is essential for fetal development and maternal health. As an endocrine organ, proper placental function requires continual production, folding, and transport of proteins and lipids ...

Evolution of the unfolded protein response

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research, 2013
The unfolded protein response (UPR) is a network of signaling pathways that responds to stress in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The general output of the UPR is to upregulate genes involved in ER function, thus restoring and/or increasing the capacity of the ER to fold and process proteins. In parallel, many organisms have mechanisms for limiting the

Metal–Organic Framework‐Preserved Thermostable Microneedle Patch for Minimally Invasive Detection and Monitoring of Kidney Dysfunction

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
By growing a conformal ZIF‐8 protective layer directly on antibody‐functionalized microneedles, this work converts a fragile biosensing interface into a thermostable diagnostic platform. The MOF@MN patch enables minimally invasive NGAL detection from dermal ISF while supporting cold‐chain‐independent storage and transport for decentralized kidney ...

Navigating the landscape of the unfolded protein response in CD8+ T cells

Frontiers in Immunology
Endoplasmic reticulum stress occurs due to large amounts of misfolded proteins, hypoxia, nutrient deprivation, and more. The unfolded protein is a complex intracellular signaling network designed to operate under this stress. Composed of three individual

Transient Cytoskeletal Anisotropy Encodes Short‐Term Mechanical Memory in Glioblastoma Cells

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The same mechanical deformation can produce distinct cytoskeletal states depending on loading history. Experiments and constitutive modeling reveal that transient actin–vimentin anisotropy stores mechanical information and governs short‐term mechanical memory in glioblastoma cells.

Virus-induced ER stress and the unfolded protein response

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2012
The accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) results in ER stress that triggers cytoprotective signaling pathways, termed the unfolded protein response (UPR), to restore and maintain homeostasis in the

Malectin Alleviates Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus via Glycoprotein Quality Control Mechanisms

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Malectin alleviates high glucose‐induced ER stress and damage in placental trophoblasts, a function dependent on its six critical carbohydrate‐binding residues. In a GDM mouse model, administration of TAT‐Malectin ameliorated hyperglycemia and placental ER stress and prevented fetal macrosomia.

A mechanism of ineffective erythropoiesis in β-thalassemia/Hb E disease

Haematologica, 2010
Background Cells respond to stress stimuli through a number of response pathways, of which one of the most important and well characterized is the unfolded protein response.
