A systematic in silico mining of the mechanistic implications and therapeutic potentials of estrogen receptor (ER)-α in breast cancer.

Estrogen receptor (ER)-α has long been a potential target in ER-α-positive breast cancer therapeutics. In this study, we integrated ER-α-related bioinformatic data at different levels to systematically explore the mechanistic and therapeutic implications of ER-α. Firstly, we identified ER-α-interact...
