    Abstract : Regulation of growth is of fundamental importance for development of the organism and to maintain health. The induction of cell proliferation and matrix production are influenced by several different signaling systems, most importantly by growth factors. READ MORE

  7. 5. Molecular characterization of estrogen receptor beta variants : cancer cell proliferation and invasion

    Author : Li Xu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Estrogen plays crucial roles in the pathogenesis of breast cancer. Most of the known effects of estrogen signaling are mediated by estrogen receptors (ERs), ERα and ERβ. ERα is explored for breast cancer molecular classification and is a target of endocrine therapy. READ MORE
