Journal ArticleDOI

Role of the stromal microenvironment in carcinogenesis of the prostate.

TL;DR: The goal of this review will be to apply endocrinologic and developmental concepts to the understanding of normal and malignant prostatic growth to emphasize the role of the stromal microenvironment in the carcinogenic process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hormonal, cellular, and molecular regulation of normal and neoplastic prostatic development.

TL;DR: Stromal-epithelial interactions play critical roles in the hormonal, cellular, and molecular regulation of normal and neoplastic prostatic development and in doing reciprocally maintain epithelial and stromal differentiation and growth-quiescence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Androgens and estrogens in benign prostatic hyperplasia: past, present and future.

TL;DR: More work is needed to identify estrogens and associated signaling pathways in BPH in order to target BPH with dietary and therapeutic SERMs, and demonstrate that estrogen receptor signaling pathways may be important in the development and maintenance of BPH and LUTS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Androgen receptor is a tumor suppressor and proliferator in prostate cancer

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the prostate AR may function as both a suppressor and a proliferator to suppress or promote prostate cancer metastasis, and understanding of these opposing roles of prostatic AR may revolutionize the way the authors combat prostate cancer, and allow the development of new and better therapies.
