Colony-stimulating factor-1 exerts direct effects on the proliferation and invasiveness of endometrial epithelial cells
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2011.03.026

Although macrophage colony-stimulating factor (CSF-1) has been suggested to play a role in maintaining the chronic inflammatory response in endometriosis, our data suggest that CSF-1 may also play a role in early endometriosis lesion format…

Regulation of aromatase induction by nuclear receptor coregulator PELP1
The Journal of steroid biochemistry and molecular biology ·doi:10.1016/j.jsbmb.2009.09.009

Estradiol (E2), estrogen receptor (ER), ER-coregulators have been implicated in the development and progression of breast cancer. In situ E2 synthesis is implicated in tumor cell proliferation through autocrine or paracrine mechanisms, espe…
