A new study has found that the hormone estrogen plays a protective role against stress-induced, depression-like behaviors in ...

Hormone therapies have played a major role in improving survival for patients with ER+ breast cancer [1]. By blocking or reducing estrogen’s impact, these treatments slow the cancer’s growth and help ...

A new Salk Institute study suggests estrogen-related receptors could be a key to repairing energy metabolism and muscle fatigue. Across the body, tiny bean-shaped structures called mitochondria turn ...

A growing understanding of how “reproductive” hormones sculpt the brain could transform the management of neurological conditions. Credit...Yuko Shimizu Supported by By Rachel E. Gross Estrogen is the ...

The modulation of colorectal cancer (CRC) by oestrogen receptors has emerged as a field of great promise, drawing attention to the differential roles of receptor subtypes in tumour initiation, ...

We all learned in high school biology that mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell. But powering up those cellular engines requires a molecular spark. Now, scientists at the Salk Institute have ...

Estrogen-dependent cancers are cancers that grow in response to the hormone estrogen. These include certain types of breast cancer, uterine cancer, and ovarian cancer. In these cancers, estrogen can ...

New findings show Telomir-1 shuts down cellular energy pathways and mitochondrial function in aggressive breast cancer cells, ...

Progesterone Receptor Positive (PR+) breast cancer is a distinct biological subtype of hormone receptor positive breast cancer. This type of cancer grows in response to progesterone, a hormone that is ...
