Abstract

Early menarche is a risk factor for breast cancer. In a longitudinal manner, we have investigated the endocrine features of girls with early menarche. This study extends our investigations to the third decade of life in a cohort of girls followed up for 13 years. The group studied comprised 44 women, 20-31 years of age. Eleven women had had their menarche before 12.0 years, 14 women at 12.0-12.9 years and 19 women at 13.0 years or more. The women who had had early menarche had higher serum oestradiol concentrations during the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle than the women who had had their menarche later. The serum oestradiol concentrations increased rapidly at the beginning of cycle in these "early menarche" women. If there is a threshold which serum oestradiol concentrations must exceed to increase the risk of breast cancer, then these women have more days at risk than other women. In addition, the serum SHBG (sex-hormone-binding globulin) concentration was about 30% lower in the follicular-phase specimens of the women who had had their menarche before 12.0 years compared with those who had had their menarche at 13.0 years. Our data therefore indicate that women with early menarche are subject to a high degree of oest...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
