Estrogen receptor as the predictive factor for response to chemotherapy in breast cancer [PDF]
It has generally been accepted that breast cancer (BC) cells are equally responsive to chemotherapy (CHT) irrespective of ER status. However, subset analyses of disease outcome in recently reported trials on neoadjuvant and adjuvant CHT brought new ...

Estrogen Signaling via Estrogen Receptor β [PDF]
Estrogens act by binding to and activating two estrogen receptors (ERs), ERα and ERβ. Transcriptional regulation by ERs is controlled by a complex array of factors such as ER-ligand binding, the DNA sequence bound by ERs, ER-interacting cofactors, and chromatin context.

Reference Profile Correlation Reveals Estrogen-like Trancriptional Activity of Curcumin [PDF]
Background: Several secondary metabolites from herbal nutrient products act as weak estrogens (phytoestrogens), competing with endogenous estrogen for binding to the estrogen receptors and inhibiting steroid converting enzymes.

Evolutionary insights into the steroid sensitive kiss1 and kiss2 neurons in the vertebrate brain
Kisspeptin was originally found as a peptide product of Kiss1gene and is now supposed to be an essential central regulator of reproduction in mammals. However, there is now a growing body of evidence to suggest that kiss2, the paralogous gene for kiss1 ...

Estrogen-Independent Activation of Estrogen Receptors [PDF]
See related article, pp 1161–1166 Sex differences showing a lower prevalence and better outcome after ischemic stroke in women have been described, differences that are abrogated by natural or surgical menopause.1,2 High levels of endogenous estrogens in premenopausal women have been associated with reduced risk for a number of diseases, such as ...

Activation of an Estrogen/ Estrogen Receptor Signaling by BIG3 Through Its Inhibitory Effect on Nuclear Transport of PHB2/REA in Breast Cancer [PDF]
Breast cancer is known to be a hormone-dependent disease, and estrogens through an interaction with estrogen receptor (ER) enhance the proliferative and metastatic activity of breast tumor cells.

Estrogen, Estrogen Receptor and Lung Cancer [PDF]
Estrogen has been postulated as a contributor for lung cancer development and progression. We reviewed the current knowledge about the expression and prognostic implications of the estrogen receptors (ER) in lung cancer, the effect and signaling pathway of estrogen on lung cancer, the hormone replacement therapy and lung cancer risk and survival, the ...

Unraveling the Dynamics of Estrogen and Progesterone Signaling in the Endometrium: An Overview
The endometrium is crucial for the perpetuation of human species. It is a complex and dynamic tissue lining the inner wall of the uterus, regulated throughout a woman’s life based on estrogen and progesterone fluctuations.
