The abnormal growth of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) significantly contributes to the progression of glioblastoma tumors. Hence, molecules that block OPC growth may be of therapeutic importance in treating gliomas. 2-Methoxyestradi…
Endometriosis, a painful disorder associated with infertility, is estimated to occur in approximately 7-10% of reproductive age women. Although endometriosis is considered as an estrogen-dependent disease, the role of estrogen metabolites v…
2-Methoxyestradiol (2-ME) is a biologically active metabolite of 17beta-estradiol that appears to inhibit key processes associated with cell replication in vitro. The molecule has been suggested to have potent growth-inhibitory effects on p…
Einleitung: Obwohl die Endometriose eine östrogenabhängige Erkrankung ist, welche nur in Ausnahmefällen außerhalb des Reproduktionsalters auftritt, ist der der Östrogenwirkung zugrunde liegende pathophysiologische Mechanismus bisher nicht g…
