    Integration of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) signaling in health/disease is discussed. Change in the ER processing of cargo molecules by pathogens or inadequacies in cargo handling by the ER mechanisms in a range of diseases from cystic fibrosis to hemochromatosis and neuropathies such as Alzheimer disease shows a surprising role of the ER in cell fate control. Topics include chaperones in assisted folding in the ER and cellular control of ligands regulating ER export.
