The presentations covered a broad range of ER‐related topics, including the molecular mechanisms of secretory autophagy, the role of Anterior GRadient proteins, structural characteristics of calreticulin and its functional aspects in immunity and diseases, the impact of ER stress and the unfolded protein response (UPR) in cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, and novel mechanisms controlling the functions of the early secretory pathway. This evidence concerns the gene CALR and cancer.
