A Thermodynamic Model for Receptor Clustering [PDF]
, 1999 Intracellular signaling often arises from ligand-induced oligomerization of cell surface receptors. This oligomerization or clustering process is fundamentally a cooperative behavior between near-neighbor receptor molecules; the properties of this cooperative process clearly affects the signal transduction.

Effect of spironolactone and potassium canrenoate on cytosolic and nuclear androgen and estrogen receptors of rat liver [PDF]
, 1987 Spironolactone and potassium canrenoate are diuretics that are used widely for management of cirrhotic ascites. The administration of spironolactone frequently leads to feminization, which has been noted less frequently with the use of potassium ...

Androgen receptors beyond prostate cancer: an old marker as a new target. [PDF]
, 2014 Androgen receptors (ARs) play a critical role in the development of prostate cancer. Targeting ARs results in important salutary effects in this malignancy.

Human androgen deficiency: insights gained from androgen receptor knockout mouse models
Asian Journal of Andrology, 2014 The mechanism of androgen action is complex. Recently, significant advances have been made into our understanding of how androgens act via the androgen receptor (AR) through the use of genetically modified mouse models.

Effect of antiandrogen flutamide on measures of hepatic regeneration in rats [PDF]
, 1989 Male rat liver undergoes a process of demasculinization during hepatic regeneration following partial hepatectomy. The possibility that antiandrogens might potentiate this demasculinization process and in so doing augment the hepatic regenerative ...

Detection in Molecular Communications with Ligand Receptors under Molecular Interference [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Molecular Communications (MC) is a bio-inspired communication technique that uses molecules to transfer information among bio-nano devices. In this paper, we focus on the detection problem for biological MC receivers employing ligand receptors to infer the transmitted messages encoded into the concentration of molecules, i.e., ligands.

Modulation of the cytosolic androgen receptor in striated muscle by sex steroids [PDF]
The influence of orchiectomy (GDX) and steroid administration on the level of the cytosolic androgen receptor in the rat levator ani muscle and in rat skeletal muscles (tibialis anterior and extensor digitorum longus) was studied.

An increase in N-Ras expression is associated with development of hormone refractory prostate cancer in a subset of patients [PDF]
, 2008 Protein expression of H, K and N-Ras was assessed in hormone sensitive and hormone refractory prostate tumour pairs from 61 patients by immunohistochemistry. Expression of H-Ras and K- Ras was not associated with any known clinical parameters.

Infinitesimal Perturbation Analysis for Personalized Cancer Therapy Design [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 We use a Stochastic Hybrid Automaton (SHA) model of prostate cancer evolution under intermittent androgen suppression (IAS) to study a threshold-based policy for therapy design. IAS is currently one of the most widely used treatments for advanced prostate cancer.
