The Orphan Nuclear Receptor TR4 Is a Vitamin A-activated Nuclear Receptor [PDF]
Testicular receptors 2 and 4 (TR2/4) constitute a subgroup of orphan nuclear receptors that play important roles in spermatogenesis, lipid and lipoprotein regulation, and the development of the central nervous system. Currently, little is known about the structural features and the ligand regulation of these receptors.

The dynamics of nuclear receptors and nuclear receptor coregulators in the pathogenesis of endometriosis [PDF]
Endometriosis is defined as the colonization and growth of endometrial tissue at anatomic sites outside the uterine cavity. Up to 15% of reproductive-aged women in the USA suffer from painful symptoms of endometriosis, such as infertility, pelvic pain, menstrual cycle abnormalities and increased risk of certain cancers.

Regulation of xenobiotic and bile acid metabolism by the nuclear pregnane X receptor
The nuclear pregnane X receptor (PXR; NR1I2) is an integral component of the body's defense mechanism against chemical insult (chemoprotection). PXR is activated by a diverse array of lipophilic chemicals, including xenobiotics and endogenous substances,

LXRs, SHP, and FXR in Prostate Cancer: Enemies or Ménage à Quatre With AR? [PDF]
Androgens and androgen receptor (AR, NR3C4) clearly play a crucial role in prostate cancer progression. Besides, the link between metabolic disorders and the risk of developing a prostate cancer has been emerging these last years.

A novel panel of mouse models to evaluate the role of human pregnane X receptor and constitutive androstane receptor in drug response [PDF]
The pregnane X receptor (PXR) and the constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) are closely related orphan nuclear hormone receptors that play a critical role as xenobiotic sensors in mammals.

Nuclear Receptor Signaling: A Home for Nuclear Receptor and Coregulator Signaling Research [PDF]
The field of nuclear receptor and coregulator signaling has grown into one of the most active and interdisciplinary in eukaryotic biology. Papers in this field are spread widely across a vast number of journals, which complicates the task of investigators in keeping current with the literature in the field.
