Insufficient antibody validation challenges oestrogen receptor beta research

A large body of work into the role of oestrogen receptor b (ERb) in breast cancer is contradictory, hindering future progress. Here the authors conduct extensive validation of anti-ERb antibodies , and show that normal and cancerous breast tissue do not express ERb, consistent with RNA-seq data.
