Abstract
⺠ER stress and the unfolded protein response contribute tofibrotic remodeling. ⺠ER stress enhances the susceptibility of epithelial cells to pro-fibrotic stimuli. ⺠ER stress facilitates fibrosis by promoting apoptosis, inflammation, and/or EMT. ⺠Genetic mutations, viruses, and environmental exposures may cause ER stress in vivo.
