Estrogen Receptors: How Do They Signal and What Are Their Targets

TL;DR: This review focuses on several of the interesting recent discoveries concerning estrogen receptors, on estrogen as a morphogen, and on the molecular mechanisms of anti-estrogen signaling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression patterns of NKG2A, KIR, and CD57 define a process of CD56dim NK-cell differentiation uncoupled from NK-cell education

TL;DR: It is shown that CD56(dim) NK cells continue to differentiate, and the associated functional imprint, occurs independently of NK-cell education by interactions with self-human leukocyte antigen class I ligands and is an essential part of the formation of human NK- cell repertoires.
Journal ArticleDOI

Morphological abnormalities in the brains of estrogen receptor β knockout mice

TL;DR: It is concluded that ERβ is necessary for neuronal survival and speculated that this gene could have an important influence on the development of degenerative diseases of the central nervous system, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, as well as those resulting from trauma and stroke in the brain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Liver X receptors in the central nervous system: from lipid homeostasis to neuronal degeneration.

TL;DR: Findings show that LXRs have an important function in lipid homeostasis in the brain, and that loss of these receptors results in neurodegenerative diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Update on estrogen signaling

TL;DR: The use of ERβ‐specific ligands against certain forms of cancer represents one of the many pharmaceutical possibilities that have been created thanks to the discovery of ER β.
