Ali M, Wollenhaupt-Aguiar B, Wang Y, Abu-Hijleh F, Rigg N, de Azevedo Cardoso T, et al.
Int J Neuropsychopharmacol . 2025 Jan; 28(2). PMID: 39803900
Background: Bipolar disorder (BD) has been associated with impaired cellular resilience. Recent studies have shown abnormalities in the unfolded protein response (UPR) in BD. The UPR is the cellular response...
