1. Estrogen receptor signalling in mammary epithelial cells
Abstract : The mammary gland is a complex tissue going through cycles of extensive proliferation and differentiation. Many hormones are involved in the regulation of development of the mammary gland, including estrogen, prolactin and epidermal growth factor (EGF). READ MORE

2. STAT5 expression and regulation in mammary epithelial cells
Abstract : The mammary gland of an adult mammal undergoes cycles of proliferation and differentiation influenced by growth factors, peptide, and steroid hormones, e.g. epidermal growth factor (EGF), prolactin (PRL) and estrogen (E). READ MORE

3. Wnt-5a Signalling in Human Mammary Cells: Implications for the Development of Breast Cancer
Abstract : The Wnt-5a gene encodes a secreted protein that regulates several normal processes in embryonic and adult tissues by as yet unknown mechanisms. Expression of Wnt-5a protein does not cause cell transformation, but it instead counteracts the effects induced by transforming Wnts. READ MORE

4. Estrogen receptor β signalling in mammary epithelial and breast cancer cells
Abstract : Estrogens are key players in the etiology and progression of breast cancer, and mediate their effects through the estrogen receptors (ERα and ERβ). ERα plays important roles in proliferation and progression of breast cancer, whereas a distinct function of ERβ in the initiation and development of breast cancer is not yet clearly established.
