Summary

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a crucial organelle responsible for protein folding, calcium homeostasis, and lipid synthesis. When the ER experiences an accumulation of misfolded or unfolded —a condition known as ER stress—it triggers a highly conserved adaptive response called the Unfolded Prote
