Published in Nature Cell Biology 2017;19:79-81. Under misfolded protein stress, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) activates the unfolded protein response (UPR) to restore homeostasis, or commits the cell to apoptosis. A study now uncovers how the UPR is governed by the circadian clock to adjust ER protein-folding...
