Development of a stably transfected cell line to screen for potential endocrine disrupting chemicals [abstract]
Myears, Hillary E.; Nagel, Susan C. (University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)Intro Estrogens are steroid hormones that diffuse across cell membranes to interact with estrogen receptors (ER) in the nucleus. An estrogen-bound ER acts as a transcription factor to regulate gene transcription in a cell. ... -
Identifying the role of caveolin-1 and caveolin-2 in cancer cell proliferation and cancer drug resistance [abstract]
Myears, Hillary E. (University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2006)Caveolae are flask-shaped invaginations of the plasma membrane. Caveolins are the major protein component building these caveolae. Caveolins are involved in cell signaling and play a role multiple subcellular processes, ... -
Peptide profiling: Correlating estrogen receptor conformation with biological response
Niebruegge, Bridget A.; Beeman, Joseph; Ghormley, Alison L.; Myears, Hillary E.; Nagel, Susan C. (University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2008)Chemicals found in the environment have been found to behave like the body's natural estrogen, estradiol. These exogenous estrogen-mimicking compounds have been termed xenoestrogens. Both estradiol and xenoestrogens can ... -

Resveratrol is a superinducer of the estrogen receptor [abstract]
Beeman, Joseph; Myears, Hillary E.; Ghormley, Alison L.; Nagel, Susan C. (University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)Estrogens are steroid hormones that diffuse across the cell membrane and into the nucleus to bind with the estrogen receptor (ER). When bound, usually by the body's natural estrogen, estradiol, the ER binds with a specific ...
