Significant Association of Estrogen Receptor-β Isoforms and Coactivators in Breast Cancer Subtypes Open
Nuclear receptor coregulators are the principal regulators of Estrogen Receptor (ER)-mediated transcription. ERβ, an ER subtype first identified in 1996, is associated with poor outcomes in breast cancer (BCa) subtypes, and the coexpressio…

ERβ Isoforms Have Differential Clinical Significance in Breast Cancer Subtypes and Subgroups Open
ERβ, an ER subtype first identified in 1996, is highly expressed in different types of BCa including ERα-negative BCa and TNBC. Many studies on ERβ expression investigated mostly on ERβ1 protein expression in ERα-positive and ERα-negative …
