abstract：:The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an organelle in which most membrane and secretory proteins are synthesized. If these proteins are not folded correctly, unfolded proteins accumulate in the ER lumen, causing a cellular situation known as ER stress. Recently, many studies on the relationship between ER stress and disea...
