Steroid receptors in health and disease An Oakland University-Serono Symposia, USA Conference, September 20–23, 1987, Meadow Brook Hall, Rochester. MI 48309-9908, USA

AbstractSteroid hormones are widely known to influence expression of the hormone-responsive genes in target cells. The action of steroid hormones is known to be mediated by their initial binding to specific ‘receptor’ proteins. The exact sequence of events, which follow hormone binding and lead to a cellular response, has remained unclear. This timely meeting has provided a forum for discussion of the recent advances in the field, which explore the structure and function of steroid receptors in health and disease
