Brown explained that there is potential for variation among different women in the genetic regions that bind to the ER, resulting in variation in the ease with which estrogen binds to the ER and thus variation in the degree of malignant cell growth. The ability to predict these differences would help doctors customize treatment plans for cancer patients based on their individual biology, according to Brown. The study also indicated the presence of other factors that cooperate with the ER to regulate genes, factors that “might themselves become targets for new therapies...

...then it’s for the best,” he said. It is unclear how the fine will affect student behavior. “It will be like an experiment,” said Burak Tekin ’08, who said he could not predict whether the fine will discourage students from booking a UHS appointment or result in shorter waiting times and greater confidence in UHS. “It will take a long time to see,” said Tekin, who added that he once waited a month to see a nutritionist there...
