      © 2016 Elsevier Inc. Tumor cells are often exposed to intrinsic and external factors that alter protein homeostasis, thus producing endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. To cope with this, cells evoke an adaptive mechanism ...
    • Dufey, Estefanie; Urra, Hery; Hetz Flores, Claudio (Academic Press, 2015)
      © 2015 Elsevier Ltd. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is generated by various physiological and pathological conditions that induce an accumulation of misfolded proteins in its lumen. ER stress activates the unfolded ...

    • González Quiroz, Matias; Urra, Hery; Limia, Celia María; Hetz Flores, Claudio (Elsevier, 2018-06)
      Cancer cells are exposed to adverse conditions within the tumor microenvironment that challenge cells to adapt and survive. Several of these homeostatic perturbations insults alter the normal function of the endoplasmic ...
