Malfunctioning of cellular organelles, such as the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria, can have a role in stress-induced pathophysiological changes. Here, the authors show that increased mitochondria‐associated endoplasmic reticulum membranes contacts related to ATP-P2X7 receptor signaling contribute to stress responses in microglia and the development of depression-like behavior in male mice.
