Abstract:The Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) is a multifunctional organelle present in the cytoplasm of the eukaryotic cells. It is involved in many aspects of cellular physiology and it presents important interaction with other cellular organelles. Different physiological and/or pathological factors may alter ER morphology and homeostasis, resulting in the accumulation of a large number of unfolded/misfolded proteins in the ER lumen and so inducing ER stress. Alterations in ER have been found to be related to different dis… Show more
