Estrogens are critical mediators of multiple and diverse physiologic effects throughout the body in both sexes, including the reproductive, cardiovascular, endocrine, nervous, and immune systems.

Modeling of mouse experiments suggests that optimal anti-hormonal treatment for breast cancer is diet-dependent [PDF]
Estrogen receptor positive breast cancer is frequently treated with anti-hormonal treatment such as aromatase inhibitors (AI). Interestingly, a high body mass index has been shown to have a negative impact on AI efficacy, most likely due to disturbances in steroid metabolism and adipokine production.

Bayesian Variable Selection for Probit Mixed Models Applied to Gene Selection [PDF]
In computational biology, gene expression datasets are characterized by very few individual samples compared to a large number of measurements per sample. Thus, it is appealing to merge these datasets in order to increase the number of observations and diversify the data, allowing a more reliable selection of genes relevant to the biological problem ...

Relative Binding Free Energy Calculations for Ligands with Diverse Scaffolds with the Alchemical Transfer Method [PDF]
We present an extension of Alchemical Transfer Method (ATM) for the estimation of relative binding free energies of molecular complexes applicable to conventional as well as scaffold-hopping alchemical transformations. The method, named ATM-RBFE, implemented in the free and open-source OpenMM molecular simulation package, aims to provide a simpler and ...

Genome-wide modelling of transcription kinetics reveals patterns of RNA production delays [PDF]
Genes with similar transcriptional activation kinetics can display very different temporal mRNA profiles due to differences in transcription time, degradation rate and RNA processing kinetics. Recent studies have shown that a splicing-associated RNA production delay can be significant.

Joint Stream: Malignant Region Learning for Breast Cancer Diagnosis [PDF]
Early diagnosis of breast cancer (BC) significantly contributes to reducing the mortality rate worldwide. The detection of different factors and biomarkers such as Estrogen receptor (ER), Progesterone receptor (PR), Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) gene, Histological grade (HG), Auxiliary lymph node (ALN) status, and Molecular subtype ...

Progesterone receptor modulates estrogen receptor-α action in breast cancer
Progesterone receptor (PR) expression is used as a biomarker of oestrogen receptor-α (ERα) function and breast cancer prognosis. Here we show that PR is not merely an ERα-induced gene target, but is also an ERα-associated protein that modulates its ...
