Hormonal steroids found to boost drug resistance in gonorrhea bacteria

In a recent study published in Nature Communications, researchers performed cellular, biochemical, and structural analyses to assess the multiple transferable resistance repressor (MtrR) binding and activation by male and female steroidal hormones, physiologically significant molecules interacting with gonococcal organisms during infection. Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a gram-negative diplococcus that causes millions of diseases globally, including those […]

Study finds ways to improve medication adherence in breast cancer survivors

For roughly 80% of breast cancer survivors, treatment doesn’t end with surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Instead, for the next five to 10 years, doctors recommend that they take medication to block sex hormones, which can fuel tumor growth and spark recurrence. The drugs are life-saving: They’ve been shown to cut risk of cancer recurrence by […]

NCI funds study to investigate the underlying cellular mechanisms that drive ER+ breast cancer

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has awarded a 5-year, $2.7 million grant to researchers at Sanford Burnham Prebys to investigate and elucidate the underlying cellular mechanisms that drive the most common form of breast cancer. Specifically, how malignant cells with different kinds of mutations and genetics in estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer are able to […]

Breast cancer and MEN1: exploring the connection

In a recent publication in the PLOS One Journal, researchers evaluated the role of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia 1 (MEN1) messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) in breast cancer. Their results revealed that MEN1 gene expression was significantly higher in tumor tissue when compared to normal cells, with expression primarily localized in the nuclear region. MEN1 expression was […]
