We critically analyzed current literature on ISR mechanisms, focusing on recent paradigm shifts including the 2020 discovery of the OMA1-DELE1-HRI axis, emerging controversies over context-dependent activation patterns, and the January 2025 clinical trial failures that have reshaped the therapeutic landscape. Methods: We reviewed recent literature (2020\u20132025) examining ISR mechanisms, clinical trials, and therapeutic developments through comprehensive database searches. Results: The field has evolved from simple linear pathway models to recognition of complex, context-dependent networks. Recent findings reveal that ISR activation mechanisms vary dramatically based on cellular metabolic state, with distinct pathways operating in proliferating versus differentiated cells. The \u201cdark microglia\u201d phenotype in neurodegeneration and DR5-mediated apoptotic switches exemplify pathological ISR manifestations, while adaptive responses include metabolic reprogramming and quality control enhancement. Conclusions: The 2025 failures of DNL343 and ABBV-CLS-7262 in ALS trials underscore the need for precision medicine approaches that account for context-dependent ISR functions, temporal dynamics, and disease-specific mechanisms.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/genes16080957","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,13]],"date-time":"2025-08-13T15:53:27Z","timestamp":1755100407000},"page":"957","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Dual Nature of Mitochondrial Integrated Stress Response: Molecular Switches from Protection to Pathology"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Jisu","family":"Jeong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Translational-Transdisciplinary Research Center, Medical Science Research Institute, Kyung Hee University Hospital at Gangdong, College of Medicine, Kyung Hee University, Seoul 02447, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Department of Biomedical Science and Technology, Graduate School, Kyung Hee University, Seoul 02447, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Junghyun","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Tourism & Wellness, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, Yongin-si 17035, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1507-9829","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Man S.","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Translational-Transdisciplinary Research Center, Medical Science Research Institute, Kyung Hee University Hospital at Gangdong, College of Medicine, Kyung Hee University, Seoul 02447, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Department of Biomedical Science and Technology, Graduate School, Kyung Hee University, Seoul 02447, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1099","DOI":"10.1016\/S1097-2765(00)00108-8","article-title":"Regulated translation initiation controls stress-induced gene expression in mammalian cells","volume":"6","author":"Harding","year":"2000","journal-title":"Mol.
