ErbB Receptors and ErbB Targeted Therapies in Endometrial Cancer
The Epidermal Growth Factor system is present in human organs and plays an important role in cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis during embryogenesis and postnatal development. It has four receptors (EGFR, ErbB-2, ErbB-3 and ErbB-4) and numerous ligands.

A new model for ductal carcinoma in situ suggests strategies for treatment [PDF]
Human ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast is now diagnosed quite frequently, due largely to the introduction of mammographic screening. It has been shown in a cell culture system that activation of c-erbB-2, but not the epidermal growth factor ...

ErbB2 signaling in breast cancer : the role of ErbB, Akt and ShcA phosphorylation [PDF]
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women and is estimated to account for more than 200,000 new cancer cases in the United States in the year 2002. It now represents the second leading cause of death (40,000) from cancer in women.

c-erbB-2 expression in benign and malignant breast disease. [PDF]
An antibody, 21N, raised against a synthetic peptide from the predicted sequence of the c-erbB-2 protein has been used immunocytochemically in a retrospective study of formalin fixed paraffin embedded breast biopsies.

Vertebrate Lrig3-ErbB interactions occur in vitro but are unlikely to play a role in Lrig3-dependent inner ear morphogenesis. [PDF]
The Lrig genes encode a family of transmembrane proteins that have been implicated in tumorigenesis, psoriasis, neural crest development, and complex tissue morphogenesis. Whether these diverse phenotypes reflect a single underlying cellular mechanism is

Targeting the Calmodulin-Regulated ErbB/Grb7 Signaling Axis in Cancer Therapy
Signal transduction pathways essential for the survival and viability of the cell and that frequently present aberrant expression or function in tumors are attractive targets for pharmacological intervention in human cancers. In this short review we will

An investigation of the role of the ErbB receptor family in chemotherapeutic drug resistance and invasion in human breast cancer [PDF]
The purpose of the work described in this thesis was to investigate the effects of upregulation of c-erbB-2 by cDNA transfection and the downregulation by ribozyme transfection on chemotherapeutic drug sensitivity, in vitro invasion, and expression of a ...

Current pathophysiological models of schizophrenia focus on neurodevelopmental and immunological mechanisms. We investigated a molecular pathway traditionally linked to the neurodevelopmental hypothesis (neuregulin 1 - ErbB), and pathogen-associated ...
