The paper compares the transcriptional activation of estrogen receptors by estrone, estradiol, and estriol in different cell lines and species, finding that estriol can be more active than estradiol under certain conditions.

This study compares the transcriptional activation of human MR haplotypes (Val-180 vs. Ile-180) by corticosteroids in HEK293 cells using different promoters, finding differences in EC50 and fold-activation.

The paper studies estrogen receptor activation in elephant shark, finding three active ER genes and one unresponsive gene, with similar estrogen responses to humans.

This study shows that lesion environments direct transplanted neural progenitors to differentiate into neuroprotective astroglial cells in CNS injuries.
