DOI: 10.1002/1873-3468.14416
Abstract: DUX4 is a transcription factor required during early embryonic development in placental mammals. In this work, we provide evidence that DUX4 is a co‐repressor of nuclear receptors (NRs) of progesterone (PR) and glucocorticoids (GR). The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/dneu.22462
Abstract: Steroid hormones activate nuclear receptors which, as transcription factors, can regulate critical aspects of neural development. Many regions of the rat forebrain, midbrain and hindbrain express progestin receptors (PR) during perinatal life, suggesting that progesterone… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/mrd.22835
Abstract: Porcine conceptuses secrete pregnancy‐recognition signals (estrogens, including estradiol‐17β) that inhibit luteolysis, thereby prolonging progesterone production by corpora lutea. The supportive mechanism by which the conceptus also inhibits luteolysis is by shifting endometrial prostaglandin (PG) synthesis… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00431-025-06599-3
Abstract: This study investigated the association between prenatal exogenous progesterone exposure and cryptorchidism, and whether delivery mode modifies this association. We conducted a retrospective case–control study of 610 cryptorchidism cases and 610 controls from pediatric surgical… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00436-020-06826-w
Abstract: In order for Plasmodium falciparum to grow and survive in its host, membrane biogenesis, fueled by host cholesterol, is essential for these processes. Consistent with this essential role, more insights into the cholesterol pathway would… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10143-018-0953-1
Abstract: Female gender, contraceptives, and menopausal hormone replacement treatments containing progesterone analogues associate with higher risk of meningiomas yet with lower risk of gliomas. Progesterone receptor (PR) expression and mifepristone treatment was highly discussed for meningiomas.… read more here.
