Activation of Stat3 by heregulin/ErbB-2 through the co-option of progesterone receptor signaling drives breast cancer growth
Cross talk between the steroid hormone receptors for estrogen and progesterone (PR) and the ErbB family of receptor tyrosine kinases appears to be a hallmark of breast cancer growth, but its underlying mechanism remains poorly explored. Here we have highlighted signal transducer and activator of tra...
