Good morning my favorite readers! Time to share with you my latest bit of research; recently I have been researching our local endoplasmic reticulum… and boy do they have some dirt to be shared about them.
So first some background info: proteins synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are properly folded with the assistance of ER chaperones. Misfolded proteins are rid of by ER- associated protein degradation (ERAD). But when the number of unfolded proteins exceeds the folding ability of the ER, human cells activate a defense mechanism called the ER stress response. A malfunction of the ER stress response caused by aging, genetic mutations, or environmental factors can result in various diseases like diabetes, inflammation, and disorders including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and bipolar disorder. Eeeeek doesn’t sound too good to me… :$ Better be careful! We don't want to stress out the ER too much.... look what could happen to us if we do ^^^ Word of advice, why don't we just leave them out of this whole Organelle in Chief election thing. I have a feeling it'd stress them out and lead to the destruction of us all. And we wouldn't want that, now would we...?
Yours truly, The Golgi Body
