TLDR
The genomic structure of the human MR is determined and it is indicated that hMR expression is regulated by alternative promoters perhaps in a tissue- or developmental-specific manner.

Brain corticosteroid receptor balance in health and disease.

TL;DR: The balance in actions mediated by the two corticosteroid receptor types in these neurons appears critical for neuronal excitability, stress responsiveness, and behavioral adaptation and Dysregulation of this MR/GR balance brings neurons in a vulnerable state with consequences for regulation of the stress response and enhanced vulnerability to disease in genetically predisposed individuals.

Stress, memory, and the hippocampus: can't live with it, can't live without it.

TL;DR: The conclusion of this analysis will be that scientists should gain from extending the impact of stress hormones to other brain regions, since hormonal functions on the brain are best explained by their modulatory role on various brain structures, rather than by their unique impact on one particular brain region.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distribution of corticosteroid receptors in the rhesus brain: relative absence of glucocorticoid receptors in the hippocampal formation.

TL;DR: In the primate, neocortical and hypothalamic areas may be more important targets for GR-mediated effects of glucocorticoids than the hippocampus, and it is also possible that glucoc Corticoid effects are mediated through the MRs present in the hippocampal formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutations in the mineralocorticoid receptor gene cause autosomal dominant pseudohypoaldosteronism type I.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that heterozygous MLR mutations cause PHA1, underscore the important role of mineralocorticoid receptor function in regulation of salt and blood pressure homeostasis in humans and motivate further study of this gene for a potential role in blood pressure variation.

The mineralocorticoid receptor: insights into its molecular and (patho)physiological biology

TL;DR: The structure, molecular mechanism of action and transcriptional regulation mediated by MR are described, emphasizing the most recent developments at the cellular and molecular level.

DNA sequencing with chain-terminating inhibitors

TL;DR: A new method for determining nucleotide sequences in DNA is described, which makes use of the 2',3'-dideoxy and arabinon nucleoside analogues of the normal deoxynucleoside triphosphates, which act as specific chain-terminating inhibitors of DNA polymerase.

The steroid and thyroid hormone receptor superfamily

TL;DR: A superfamily of regulatory proteins that include receptors for thyroid hormone and the vertebrate morphogen retinoic acid is identified, suggesting mechanisms underlying morphogenesis and homeostasis may be more ubiquitous than previously expected.
