The unfolded protein response (UPR) occurs in cells in response to accumulation of unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). When unfolded protein accumulates secondary to a mild stress, universal protein synthesis is inhibited, but then resumes upon recovery. In contrast, a more severe or persistent stress would lead to apoptosis. UPR has not been extensively studied in the heart, though it has been described recently in association with some disease states such as hypertrophy and ischemia. In the current issue, . . .
