Targeting the unfolded protein response in glioblastoma cells with the fusion protein EGF-SubA.

Rapidly growing tumors require efficient means to allow them to adapt to fluctuating microenvironments consisting of hypoxia, nutrient deprivation, and acidosis. The unfolded protein response (UPR) represents a defense mechanism allowing cells to respond to these adverse conditions. The chaperone pr...
