A system for detecting high impact-low frequency mutations in primary tumors and metastases
Tumor complexity and intratumor heterogeneity contribute to subclonal diversity. Despite advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) and bioinformatics, detecting rare mutations in primary tumors and metastas...

Open AccessAccurate prediction of X-ray pulse properties from a free-electron laser using machine learning
Free-electron lasers providing ultra-short high-brightness pulses of X-ray radiation have great potential for a wide impact on science, and are a critical element for unravelling the structural dynamics of mat...

Regulation of LKB1 expression by sex hormones in adipocytes
In the adipose tissue, activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) by phosphorylation favours local fatty acid oxidation and inhibition of lipogenesis. We have previously shown that the potent androgen d...

Estrogen Signaling in the Regulation of Female Reproductive Functions
Estrogens influence fertility and infertility in animals. This chapter reviews the use of estrogen as a contraceptive through the regulation of its production and action. It is concluded that the use of specif...

Evidence for the existence of an estrogen-responsive sexually dimorphic group of cells in the medial preoptic area of the 129SvEv mouse strain
The current study describes the presence of sexually dimorphic cell groups within the MPO of the 129SvEv, but not the C57BL/6J strain of mice. We detected galanin-positive clusters of cells located in the MPO ...

Of Mice and Men: The Many Guises of Estrogens
Models of estrogen insufficiency have revealed new and unexpected roles for estrogens in males as well as females. These models include natural mutations in the aromatase gene in humans, as well as mouse knock...

Role of Estrogens in the Male Reproductive Tract
Most of the studies associated with defining the effects of estrogen have relied upon the use of models in which exogenous estrogens [17β-estradiol or diethylstilbestrol (DES)] are administered to rodents (Raijfe...

Tissue-Specific Regulation of Aromatase Cytochrome P450 (CYP19) Expression
The conversion of androgens to estrogens is catalyzed by an enzyme complex known as aromatase, whose activity results in aromatization of the A ring of androgens, to form the phenolic A ring characteristic of ...

Expression of P-450 Enzyme Activities in Heterologous Cells by Transfection
The product of the A gene of simian virus 40 (SV40), T antigen, is synthesized and accumulates in the nucleus of infected cells. This regulartory protein acts to initiate viral DNA replication as well as regul...
