Estrogen and estrogen receptors in kidney diseases [PDF]
Acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are posing great threats to global health within this century. Studies have suggested that estrogen and estrogen receptors (ERs) play important roles in many physiological processes in the kidney.

Estrogen Receptors and Endometriosis [PDF]
Endometriosis is a frequent and chronic inflammatory disease with impacts on reproduction, health and quality of life. This disorder is highly estrogen-dependent and the purpose of hormonal treatments is to decrease the endogenous ovarian production of estrogens.

Role of estrogen receptors in cancer: a special emphasis on the therapeutic potential of estrogen receptor β [PDF]
Estrogen receptors are nuclear receptors that play a major role in both physiology and pathology. Estrogen receptor subtypes are currently divided into three groups: estrogen receptor alpha (ERα), estrogen receptor beta (ERβ), and G protein-coupled ...
