Mimicking women’s endocrine milieu in mice for women’s health-related studies

Cathrin Brisken, Laura Battista, Céline Berthe Constantin, Valentina Scabia, Csaba Ferenc László

To improve preclinical studies and their translation, patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) are increasingly used. They have human-specific tumor characteristics and reflect intra and inter-tumor heterogeneity. However, the endocrine milieu differs between hum ...

Estrogen receptor signaling in the human breast epithelium

Céline Berthe Constantin

Breast cancer is the most diagnosed malignancy in women worldwide, making effective prevention strategies crucial. Hormonal contraceptives, consisting of a synthetic progesterone receptor agonist alone or in combination with an estrogen, are used by millio ...

Contraceptive progestins with androgenic properties stimulate breast epithelial cell proliferation

Philipp Bucher, Cathrin Brisken, Giovanna Ambrosini, Laura Battista, Céline Berthe Constantin, Valentina Scabia, Marie Shamseddin, Csaba Ferenc László, Fabio De Martino

Hormonal contraception exposes women to synthetic progesterone receptor (PR) agonists, progestins, and transiently increases breast cancer risk. How progesterone and progestins affect the breast epithelium is poorly understood because we lack adequate mode ...

The secreted protease Adamts18 links hormone action to activation of the mammary stem cell niche

Philipp Bucher, Cathrin Brisken, Renuga Devi Rajaram, Giovanna Ambrosini, Marian Caikovski, Rachel Marcone, Céline Berthe Constantin, Dalya Ataca, Marie Shamseddin, Patrik Aouad, Csaba Ferenc László

Estrogens and progesterone control breast development and carcinogenesis via their cognate receptors expressed in a subset of luminal cells in the mammary epithelium. How they control the extracellular matrix, important to breast physiology and tumorigenes ...
