Overview

The multiple actions of estrogens on different cell types have not only intrigued endocrinology researchers but also inspired the development of selective estrogen receptor modulators, or SERMs, that modulate estrogen signaling in a cell type-specific manner. Current molecular understanding of estrogen action has greatly profited from advances in molecular cell biology to dissect the mechanisms of estrogen-regulated gene expression in target cells, from in vivo analyses using genetic models deficient in estrogen signaling and from synthetic estrogen receptor ligands with isoform- or pathway-selective activity. These advances, and their implications for clinical use, were discussed by leading researchers from industry and academia during an international symposium held in Berlin, 1-3 March 2006.

Reviews

From the reviews: <p> This summation of a symposium discusses some of the new research developments and estrogen-receptor based therapies that are being tested in the laboratory and in current use. a ] It is written for researchers, physician scientists, and those interested in estrogen receptor interactions at a molecular level. Hopefully, it can also stimulate interest in and future research by graduate students or clinical/basic researchers. (Amber R. Cooper, Doodya (TM)s Review Service, January 2008)
