## Abstract Membrane receptors for steroid hormones affect signaling pathways that modulate nuclear function, influence neuronal activity, ion flow, and the circulatory system. Indeed, βnewβ steroid hormones have been identified by their interaction with membraneβinitiated signaling systems. A brie

Nuclear receptors regulate transcription in direct response to their cognate hormonal ligands. Ligand binding leads to the dissociation of corepressors and the recruitment of coactivators. Many of these factors, acting in large complexes, have emerged as chromatin remodelers through intrinsic histon
The presence of epidermal growth factor, estrogen, and progesterone receptors (EGFR, ER, and PR) was investigated by a competitive binding assay in 43 colorectal adenocarcinomas and 32 normal colorectal mucosa specimens. EGFR were expressed in most of the tumor specimens analyzed at levels comparabl
The authors investigated the presence of epidermal growth factor (EGF-R), estrogen (ER), progesterone (PR), and androgen (AR) receptors in 42 laryngeal squamous cell carcinomas and 20 normal laryngeal mucosa specimens. EGF-R were expressed in all tumor specimens analyzed, with significantly higher l
## Abstract Some applications of chimeric cellular models are presented to study the biological activities of steroid hormones. We have used several chimeric constructs encoding the DNA binding domain of Gal4 yeast protein fused to the hormone binding domain of various steroid receptors (MR, PR, GR
