Treatment of Girls and Boys with McCune-Albright Syndrome with Precocious Puberty - Update 2017 [PDF]
The most common endocrinopathy associated with McCune-Albright Syndrome (MAS) is peripheral precocious puberty (PP) which occurs far more often in girls than in boys.

Estrogen, Estrogen Receptor and Lung Cancer
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 ...

Autophagy in cancer and protein conformational disorders
Autophagy plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes, including protein and organelle quality control, development, immunity, and metabolism. Hence, dysregulation or mutations in autophagy‐related genes have been implicated in a wide range of human diseases.

FMO Interaction Energy between 17$β$-Estradiol, 17$α$-Estradiol and Human Estrogen Receptor $α$ [PDF]
The estrogen receptor is a nuclear hormone receptor activated by the natural steroid hormone 17$\beta$-estradiol (E2). Fragment molecular orbital (FMO) calculations were performed which allowed us to obtain the interaction energy ($E_{int}$) between E2, 17$\alpha$-estradiol (17$\alpha$-E2) and the human estrogen receptor $\alpha$ ligand-binding domain.

Estrogen resistance caused by a mutation in the estrogen-receptor gene in a man.
BACKGROUND AND METHODS Mutations in the estrogen-receptor gene have been thought to be lethal. A 28-year-old man whose estrogen resistance was caused by a disruptive mutation in the estrogen-receptor gene underwent studies of pituitary-gonadal function ...

Estrogen Binding Protein Activity in Morris Hepatoma 7777 Compared With Normal Rat Liver [PDF]
Estrogen binding protein activities were determined in the cytosol from adult male Buffalo rat liver and Morris hepatoma 7777. Estrogen receptors were prepared using the protamine sulfate precipitation technique of Chamness.

Surfaceome: a new era in the discovery of immune evasion mechanisms of circulating tumor cells
In the era of immunotherapies, many patients either do not respond or eventually develop resistance. We propose to pave the way for proteomic analysis of surface‐expressed proteins called surfaceome, of circulating tumor cells. This approach seeks to identify immune evasion mechanisms and discover potential therapeutic targets. Circulating tumor cells (

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) offers a possibility for different applications in early and late stage breast cancer management. In early breast cancer tumor informed approaches are increasingly used for detecting molecular residual disease (MRD) and early recurrence. In advanced stage, ctDNA provides a possibility for monitoring disease progression and

The serotonin transporter promotes a pathological estrogen metabolic pathway in pulmonary hypertension via cytochrome P450 1B1 pulmonary circulation [PDF]
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a devastating vasculopathy that predominates in women and has been associated with dysregulated estrogen and serotonin signaling. Overexpression of the serotonin transporter (SERT+) in mice results in an estrogen-

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 ...
