Description

Hormones and Signaling focuses on the mechanisms of gene regulation at the cellular level. It also describes the actions of hormones in modulating gene regulation and animal development.

Key features

  • Glococorticoid and mineralcorticoid signaling
  • Orphan nuclear receptors
  • Nuclear receptor coactivators
  • Cytokines and STAT signaling
  • Coordination of cAMP signaling events through PKA anchoring
  • G protein-coupled extracellular Ca2+ (Ca2+0)-sensing receptor (CaR)
  • Pancreatic islet development
  • Genetic analysis of androgen receptors in development and disease
  • Antioprogestin regulable gene switch for induction of gene expression in vivo
  • Steroid receptor knockout model

Readership

Researchers and students in endocrinology, cell and molecular biology, biochemistry, and pharmacology.
