This unifying conference provided new insights into the connections between the membrane and nuclear cellular actions of the main classes of steroid hormone receptors (progesterone, oestrogen, androgen, mineralocorticoid and glucocorticoid), and other important members of the nuclear receptor superfamily (receptors for thyroid hormone (TH) and vitamin D). Speakers at the conference addressed important questions about the characteristics and actions of steroid membrane receptors, many of which remain unresolved. The topics ranged from the cell biology of sex steroids in hormonally responsive cancers to new aspects of steroid receptor (SR) signalling at non-classical sites of action. Here, we present highlights from the meeting that address ‘burning questions’ about the integration of membrane-and nuclearreceptor-initiated signalling. We concentrate primarily on new information about the characteristics of membrane SRs, their relationship to their nuclear counterparts and new experimental approaches for addressing these issues.
