In vitro culturing and characteristics of transit amplifying epithelial cells from human prostate tissue

Abstract excerpt

The prostatic epithelium is functionally organized in stem cell units. This unit consists of a slow turn over stem cell within the basal epithelial layer which can replenish itself and provide progeny which differentiate down either a neuroendocrine or exocrine pathway. The maturation along the exocrine pathway initially involves transit amplifying cells within the basal layer proliferating and subsequently the...
