TL;DR: This research presents a new probabilistic procedure called ‘spot-spot analysis’ to characterize the response of the immune system to the presence of E.coli.

TL;DR: A review of recent developments in structure‐ function relationships of retinoic acid receptors focuses on recent developments, particularly in the area of structure‐function relationships.

TL;DR: Cloned and sequenced the complete complementary DNA of the oestrogen receptor (ER) present in the breast cancer cell line MCF-7 and found extensive homology between the ER and the erb-A protein of the oncogenic avian erythroblastosis virus.

TL;DR: The protein is homologous to the receptors for steroid hormones, thyroid hormones and vitamin D3, and appears to be a retinoic acid-inducible {Tans-acting enhancer factor, suggesting that the molecular mechanisms of the effect of vitamin A (vitamin A) on embryonic development, differentiation and tumour cell growth are similar to those described for other members of this nuclear receptor family.

TL;DR: The phosphorylation of the human estrogen receptor (ER) serine residue at position 118 is required for full activity of the ER activation function 1 (AF-1), which is modulated by the phosphorylated Ser118 through the Ras-MAPK cascade of the growth factor signaling pathways.
