 | | In response to the stimulation mediated by a wide variety of materials and signals, after they are incorporated into cells, a number of genes respond in a number of ways specific to the types of the stimulation, materials and cells. |
 | | Therefore, the cellular responses to hormones and the effects of such responses can be monitored by examining or profiling the responses by the genes, which is essential for the application of hormone-based assays. |
 | | In the second field, gene expression profiling of environmental hormones, or endocrine disruptors, will be a useful tool for monitoring effects of industrial chemicals, and natural and artificial biomaterials. |
