How Estrogen Receptor Binds DNA. This illustration shows the estrogen receptor alpha (ERα, in orange) attaching to DNA (in blue) as a pair, or dimer. The image is based on real-time, high-speed atomic ...

Researchers confirm and explore the role of estrogen-related receptors in regulating energy production in muscle cells during exercise. The findings indicate that developing a drug to boost ...

Estrogen plays an important role in keeping bones healthy. Now, researchers investigated how membrane-initiated estrogen receptor alpha (mERα) signaling in specific cell types of female mice affects ...

Estrogen-dependent cancers are cancers that grow in response to the hormone estrogen. These include certain types of breast cancer, uterine cancer, and ovarian cancer. In these cancers, estrogen can ...

“Estrogen is basically turning up the sensor for acetate,” Ingraham explains. “It’s a compound gut bacteria produce when they ...

Many breast cancer drugs block estrogen receptors inside cancer cells. Blocking the receptors early in disease progression staves off metastasis. But most patients with advanced disease eventually ...

A new Salk Institute study suggests that estrogen-related receptors could be a key to repairing energy metabolism and muscle fatigue. Across the body, tiny bean-shaped structures called mitochondria ...
