Abstract excerpt
Prostate development and maturation requires stromal-epithelial interactions and androgen action via the androgen receptor (AR) within these compartments. However, the specific roles of epithelial and stromal AR in postnatal prostate differentiation are unclear. We used Cre-LoxP technology to determine the prostate phenotype in mice with epithelial-selective genetic inactivation of the AR leaving the stromal AR...
