## Abstract The insulin‐like growth factor‐I receptor (IGF‐IR) is a ubiquitous multifunctional tyrosine kinase that has an important role in normal cell growth and development. However, abnormal stimulation of IGF‐IR signaling has been implicated in the development of different types of tumors. The
## Abstract Estrogen effects on mammary gland development and differentiation are mediated by two receptors (ERα and ERβ). Estrogen‐bound ERα induces proliferation of mammary epithelial and cancer cells, while ERβ is important for maintenance of the differentiated epithelium and inhibits proliferat
Cell adhesion is a key physiological event tightly coupled to other major cellular processes coordinating morphogenesis and histogenesis. Cell-to-cell and cell-to-extracellular matrix adhesion regulates the social behavior of cells in developing embryos and in the adult. These two adhesion systems a
