Structure and function of nuclear receptors--EMBO workshop. 25-27 May 1999, Villefranche-sur-Mer, Nice, France.
This was the second in a bi-annual series of workshops held in Europe, supported by the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO), dealing with nuclear receptor (NR) structure and function. Exciting, novel information was presented on both the structure and functionality of NRs, whose members are increasingly recognized as families of ligand-regulable transcription factors with a major impact on a variety of (patho)physiological phenomena, ranging from the regulation of cell growth and death to cholesterol homeostasis and drug metabolism. There is no doubt that NRs are of interest to researchers who are trying to understand the molecular events involved in the corresponding signaling pathways and drug companies involved in drug design.
