For the first time, scientists from the University of Washington School of Medicine, Indiana University Bloomington and the University of Cambridge have determined how a plant hormone — auxin — interacts with its hormone receptor, called TIR1. view more (2007-04-05)
Walking prevents bone loss caused from prostate cancer treatment
Exercise may reduce, and even reverse, bone loss caused by hormone and radiation therapies used in the treatment of localized prostate cancer, thereby decreasing the potential risk of bone fractures and improving quality of life for these men. view more (2007-10-29)
Estrogen curbs appetite in same way as the hormone leptin

Researchers learn what sparks plant growth
A secret long held by plants has been revealed by Howard Hughes Medical Institute researchers. The new discovery, which builds on more than a decade of painstaking surveillance of cellular communication between different types of plant tissues, shows clearly for the first time how plants "decide" to grow. view more (2007-03-08)

Studies Examine Menopausal Hormone Therapy and Risk of Breast Cancer Recurrence
The doses of estrogen and progestogen used in menopausal hormone therapy may be related to the risk of breast cancer recurrence, according to a new study in the April 6 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. In 1997, two randomized trials, the Hormonal Replacement Therapy-Is It Safe? (HABITS) trial and the Stockholm trial, began... view more... (2005-04-06)
The bonsai effect: Wounded plants make jasmonates, inhibiting cell division, stunting growth
It is well known that plants growing under unfavourable conditions are generally smaller than those growing in stress-free conditions: indeed it is estimated that in the US, abiotic stress reduces the yield of agricultural crops by an average of 22%. view more (2008-11-12)
A gene predisposing to pituitary tumors identified
A recent Finnish study identifies a low-penetrance gene defect which predisposes carriers to intracranial tumors called pituitary adenomas. view more (2006-05-26)
Prostate cancer vaccines more effective with hormone therapy
Among patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer, the addition of hormone therapy following vaccine treatment improved overall survival compared with either treatment alone or when the vaccine followed hormone treatment, according to recent data published in the July 15 Clinical Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for... view more...

Plastics chemical retards growth, function of adult reproductive cells
Bisphenol A, a chemical widely used in plastics and known to cause reproductive problems in the offspring of pregnant mice exposed to it, also has been found to retard the growth of follicles of adult mice and hinder their production of steroid hormones, researchers report. view more (2009-07-09)
Estrogen study provides new impetus for development of colon cancer drugs
The female hormone estrogen may hold important clues for scientists working on new therapies for colon cancer, a study by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute researchers suggests. view more (2006-12-19)

A study led by researchers at UCL (University College London) demonstrates that female reproductive function is influenced by childhood environment. view more (2007-05-15)
Hormone use related to lower risk of macular degeneration in postmenopausal women
Women who take postmenopausal hormones appear to have a lower risk of developing advanced stages of the eye disease age-related macular degeneration, especially if they had also taken oral contraceptives in the past, according to a report in the April issue of Archives of Ophthalmology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2008-04-15)
Early estrogen therapy to prevent heart disease focus of Yale study
Researchers at Yale School of Medicine and seven other national institutions are recruiting patients to participate in the Kronos Early Estrogen Prevention Study (KEEPS) to look at the effects of estrogen on heart disease prevention. view more (2005-08-16)
Effects of progesterone on Alzheimer's disease
The first study on progesterone and Alzheimer's disease has found no clear preventive benefit for the widely prescribed hormone in an animal model. view more (2007-11-28)
Decision aids help patients choose best treatment options
Interactive decision aids improves patient knowledge and can help patients play a more active part in making decisions about their treatment, suggest two studies in this week's BMJ. In the first study, 205 women in the UK considering hormone replacement treatment were randomly given either normal clinical care or a computer-based interactive... view more... (2001-08-29)
Autism linked with stress hormone levels
Some of the symptoms of the autistic condition Asperger Syndrome, such as a need for routine and resistance to change, could be linked to levels of the stress hormone cortisol, suggests new research led by the University of Bath. view more (2009-04-02)
Options improving for patients with acromegaly and gigantism, says endocrinology expert
Scientific, technological and medical advances made in the past two decades are leading to more definitive diagnoses, earlier and more effective treatment options and better outcomes for patients suffering from a condition called acromegaly. view more (2006-12-18)
