Kanazawa University, have captured real-time footage showing how a key hormone receptor activates genes, offering a clearer view of one of the most fundamental processes in biology.

Using high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM), Richard Wong and colleagues at Kanazawa University directly visualized how the estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) binds to DNA and switches on genes in ...

A longitudinal study of estrogen-responsive tissues and hormone concentrations in infants fed soy formula. The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism , 2018; DOI: 10.1210/jc.2017-02249 ...

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 force microscopy (HS-AFM ...

Limiting such exposures, including minimizing use of soy-based baby formula, would be a step toward ... substances that function similarly to the estrogen naturally produced in the body) may ...

And the team is investigating exactly how the molecules on the nanoparticle surfaces grab and hold on to estrogen at the atomic scale. With this information, Halik says, they can improve the ...

Matvienko says some of the test subjects will be given a drug that acts like estrogen but it’s derived from soybeans.This week, another study of hormone replacement therapy using estrogen and ...
