Progestins play a key position in reproductive endocrinology and as pharmaceutical medicinal drugs for birth control and in mixed hormone treatment. To additional our figuring out of progestin motion within the mammary gland, a world symposium, attended by means of best researchers from academia and undefined, used to be held in Berlin, 21–23 March 2007. Genetic mouse versions helped to explain the function of progestins, either in general breast improvement and in ailment. Mechanistic molecular reviews encouraged the layout of recent progestins with greater tissue selectivity. additionally, the medical impression of progesterone receptor agonists and antagonists for the prevention and therapy of breast melanoma was once discussed.
