The study of hormone action in the human breast has been hampered by lack of adequate model systems. Upon in vitro culture, primary mammary epithelial cells tend to lose hormone receptor expression. Widely used hormone receptor positive breast cancer cell ...
The Notch signalling pathway is an ancient cell signalling mechanism that enables short-range communications between cells and controls a broad spectrum of cell fates and developmental processes. In the haematopoietic system Notch signalling has been linke ...
We have synthesized a 17-mer peptide (ER17p) that is issued from the hinge region of the estrogen receptor and which activates the proliferation of breast carcinoma cells in steroid-deprived conditions. In the present paper, we show that at a concentration ...
Secreted cytokines of the TGF beta family are found in all multicellular organisms and implicated in regulating fundamental cell behaviors such as proliferation, differentiation, migration and survival. Signal transduction involves complexes of specific ty ...
In the context of the European Water Framework Directive (WFD) it is fully recognized that pharmaceuticals can represent a relevant issue for the achievement of the good chemical and ecological status of European surface water bodies. The recent European D ...
The goal of targeted cancer therapies is to specifically block oncogenic signalling, thus maximising efficacy, while reducing side-effects to patients. The gamma-secretase (GS) complex is an attractive therapeutic target in haematological malignancies and ...
Clofibric acid (CA) is the active substance of lipid lowering drugs. It is resistant to degradation, polar in nature, and has been found ubiquitously in the aquatic environment. Though CA is classified as a peroxisomal proliferator in rodents and is consid ...
Research on endocrine disruption in fish has been dominated by studies on estrogen-active compounds which act as mimics of the natural estrogen, 17 beta-estradiol (E2), and generally exert their biological actions by binding to and activation of estrogen r ...
Abstract | Understanding the biology of the breast and how ovarian hormones impinge on it is key to rational new approaches in breast cancer prevention and therapy. Because of the success of selective oestrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), such as tamoxife ...
Inefficient production of membrane-embedded multi-protein complexes by conventional methods has largely prevented the generation of high-resolution structural information and the performance of high-throughput drug discovery screens for this class of prote ...
