Dr. Lawanda Schief's New Book "Xenobiotic Regulation of Estrogen and Progesterone Receptor" Discusses the Effects of Carcinogenic Chemicals in Cellular Structure
Recent release "Xenobiotic Regulation of Estrogen and Progesterone Receptor" from Page Publishing author Dr. Lawanda Schief is a profound and insightful read on genetic degeneration caused by cancerous chemicals present in the environment.
OLIVE BRANCH, Miss., Oct. 29, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Dr. Lawanda Schief, a valedictorian from Xavier University of Louisiana and summa cum laude with a bachelor of science degree with honors in history and English who joined the Interdisciplinary Program in Molecular and Cellular Biology Program at Tulane University Graduate School in 1998 for a doctor of philosophy in molecular and cellular biology, as well as an awardee of the National Institutes of Health Undergraduate Scholarship and an EPA STAR Fellowship, has completed her new book "Xenobiotic Regulation of Estrogen and Progesterone Receptor": a cerebral dissertation on common man-made chemicals and industrial waste and their effects on human physiology, especially on cancer cell growth.
Author Dr. Schief presents factual and well-observed points that aim to further explain the human potential and limitation when exposed to natural and unnatural variables: "The primary mechanism of steroid hormone action in vertebrates involves hormone binding to its receptor followed by receptor phos¬phorylation and dimerization. This activated receptor then pro¬duces enhancer actions through hormone response elements (HREs) in the promoter region of hormone-regulated genes and results in subsequent gene transactivation or inactivation. It is important to know which chemicals in the environment mimic or inhibit hor¬mone activity, what structural properties of these chemicals play a role in this activity, and what effects these compounds may have on the hormone-responsive processes in human development and dis¬ease. While environmental chemicals have been implicated in the etiology of many hormone-regulated human diseases, the many possible nuclear receptor–mediated mechanisms involved remain to be characterized."
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Dr. Lawanda Schief's scholarly account tests the hypothesis of hormonal response to environmental factors that promote the growth of cancer to the body.
