Risk prediction of developing venous thrombosis in combined oral contraceptive users

Background Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a complex multifactorial disease influenced by genetic and environmental risk factors. An example for the latter is the regular use of combined oral contraceptives (CC), which increases the risk to develop VTE by ...

The Differential Distribution of RAPTA-T in Non-Invasive and Invasive Breast Cancer Cells Correlates with Its Anti-Invasive and Anti-Metastatic Effects

Paul Joseph Dyson, Anders Meibom, Graham Knott, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Catherine Maclachlan

Nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry (NanoSIMS) combined with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) can be a powerful approach to visualize the exact distribution of drugs at the sub-cellular level. In this work, we exploit this approach to identify ...

Extensive Regulation of Diurnal Transcription and Metabolism by Glucocorticoids

Frédéric Bruno Martin Gachon, Cédric Gobet, Benjamin Dieter Weger, Meltem Weger

Altered daily patterns of hormone action are suspected to contribute to metabolic disease. It is poorly understood how the adrenal glucocorticoid hormones contribute to the coordination of daily global patterns of transcription and metabolism. Here, we exa ...

Structural and Functional Imaging of Pancreatic Islets using Optical Coherence Microscopy

Corinne Berclaz

In diabetes, pancreatic beta-cells play a key role. These cells are organized within structures called islets of Langerhans inside the pancreas and produce insulin. Insulin is one of the main hormones contributing to glucose homeostasis, which is the hallm ...

Effects of clofibric acid alone and in combination with 17 beta-estradiol on mRNA abundance in primary hepatocytes isolated from rainbow trout

Kristin Schirmer

Clofibric acid (CA) is the active substance of lipid lowering drugs. It is resistant to degradation, polar in nature, and has been found ubiquitously in the aquatic environment. Though CA is classified as a peroxisomal proliferator in rodents and is consid ...

Differential Roles of MAPK Kinases MKK3 and MKK6 in Osteoclastogenesis and Bone Loss

Mario Michael Zaiss

Bone mass is maintained by osteoclasts that resorb bone and osteoblasts that promote matrix deposition and mineralization. Bone homeostasis is altered in chronic inflammation as well as in post-menopausal loss of estrogen, which favors osteoclast activity ...

Monitoring proliferative activities of hormone-like odorants in human breast cancer cells by gene transcription profiling and electrical impedance spectroscopy

Horst Arthur Vogel, Cathrin Brisken, Horst Pick, Samuel Terrettaz, Olivia Baud

The human estrogen receptor alpha (ER!) mediates the proliferative action of hormones in breast cancer cells by regulating the expression of target genes to control cellular functions. Current methodologies do not permit a real-time assessment of these pro ...

Impact of environmental estrogens on fish considering the diversity of estrogen signaling

Research on endocrine disruption in fish has been dominated by studies on estrogen-active compounds which act as mimics of the natural estrogen, 17 beta-estradiol (E2), and generally exert their biological actions by binding to and activation of estrogen r ...
