Mechanisms that affect the receptor levels and/or the expression of their regulators and target genes can be expected to shape hormonal responses. miRNAs are newly recognized regulatory molecules that act at all these levels. We have done a comprehensive survey of miRNAs that might regulate the expression of the estrogen receptor &#...
