Steroids and cell proliferation, regulation of cell cycle genes. Steroid transport. Steroids and cancer: functional relationships in normal and neoplastic tissues between steroid hormones and cytokines, growth factors, growth inhibitors, and oncogenes. Steroids and cancer prevention. Biosynthesis, secretion, and metabolism of steroids and of biologically-related compounds, and their regulation by peptide hormones, prostaglandins and other substances. Molecular aspects of enzymes involved in steroidogenesis. Novel therapeutic applications of new steroid agonists or antagonists. Steroids and neuroendocrinology or neuroimmunology. Neurosteroids, steroid action on synactic transmission and modulation. Steroid hormones and hypertension. Steroids and their actions on bone and on the cardiovascular systems.
