Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a pluripotent cytokine involved in inflammation and immune responses as well as in growth factor-dependent cell proliferation, cell cycle, angiogenesis, and tumorigenesis [1], [2], [3], ...

Glucocorticoids are potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive agents. They inhibit synthesis of almost all known cytokines, enzymes involved in the inflammatory process and several cell surface molecules required for immune function. Glucocorticoids mediate these effects via the ...

Androgen and Estrogen receptors (Androgen receptor and ESR1 (nuclear)) function as steroid-hormone activated transcription factors. Upon binding the hormone ligand, receptors dissociate from accessory proteins, translocate into the nucleus, dimerize, and then stimulate transcription ...
