Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: We investigated the effects of transforming growth factor (TGF)-betas on morphological and receptor phenotypes, as well as proliferation of four currently established human prostatic myofibroblast cell lines and one commercially available prostatic stromal cell line. METHODS: The effects of TGF-betas on morphological changes and proliferation of the cells were studied by immunohistochemistry and...
