Potential Role of Estrogen Receptor Beta as a Tumor Suppressor of Epithelial Ovarian Cancer by Carine Bossard (138058)

“…Previous studies have shown that Estrogen-receptor beta (ERβ) levels decreased along with ovarian carcinogenesis. Here, we present evidence that reintroduction of ERβ in BG-1 epithelial ovarian cancer cells, which express ERα, leads <em>in vitro</em> to a decrease of basal and estradiol-promoted cell proliferation. …”

Temporal Sensitivity of Protein Kinase A Activation in Late-Phase Long Term Potentiation by MyungSook Kim (65534)

“…Examination of CaMKII reveals that its temporal sensitivity is opposite that of PKA, suggesting that PKA is required after spaced stimulation to compensate for a decrease in CaMKII. In addition to explaining the temporal sensitivity of PKA, these simulations suggest that the use of several kinases for memory storage allows each to respond optimally to different temporal patterns.…”
