Overview
This volume's ambitious aim is to cover steroid hormones from a basic DNA level through clinical conditions and new targets for pharmacological research. Steroid hormones influence nearly all major physiological processes. The actions of these hormones are mediated by their initial interaction with intracellular receptor proteins. Steroid receptors, along with other members of the steroid receptor superfamily, act as transcriptional factors to influence gene expression in target cells. The molecular mechanisms and gene expression pathways are thoroughly covered in this exceptional volume. The reviews are written by the field's top investigators, yet they are easy to read for students and researchers alike. Clinicians will be interested in the chapters which cover the molecular and biological aspects of disease. Molecular and cell biologists, biochemists, endocrinologists, and pharmaceutical researchers will all benefit from this comprehensive volume.Editorials

This initial volume in the series collects updated papers presented at the Second Meadow Brook Conference on Steroid Receptors in Health and Diseases (date and location not noted). The 20 articles are grouped into sections covering: steroid receptor interactions with DNA and nuclear components; receptor structure and associated proteins; receptor modification and hormone/antihormone interactions; steroid receptors and clinical correlations; and emerging and novel systems.
