Estrogen, which binds estrogen receptor alpha (ER-alpha), is a risk factor for breast cancer development. However, one-third of new breast cancers lack detectable ER-alpha. These ER-alpha--negative cancers are more aggressive and have a worse prognosis than do ER-alpha--positive breast cancers, and have been thought to be estrogen independent. In a new JCI study, University of Miami researchers shed further light on the mechanisms regulating ER-alpha expression levels during breast cancer. Bioelectronics: Progress Toward Drug Screening With A Cell?transistor
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry in Martinsried/Munich have shown that bioelectronic hybrid systems are no longer just a utopian vision by coupling a receptor to a silicon chip by means of a cell-transistor interface. Air Pollution Linked To Clogged Arteries
