Once ER Stress in the cell is continuous, can the cell repair itself to normal?
I want to know if a cell can repair itself to normal if ER stress is continuous.
ER stress can trigger the unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway which facilitates protein folding and removal of unfolded proteins. However, if ER stress is persistent and severe, the UPR pathway can lead to cell death instead of repair.
