Abstract excerpt
Notch expression is frequently associated with progenitor cells, and its function is crucial for development. Our recent work showing that Notch1 is selectively expressed in basal epithelial cells of the prostate and higher Notch1 expression during development suggests that Notch1-expressing cells may define progenitor cells in the prostate. To test this hypothesis, we have generated a transgenic mouse line in...
