Abstract excerpt
Postnatal inactivation of epithelial androgen receptor (AR) in prostate epithelial AR knockout (PEARKO) mice results in hindered differentiation but enhanced proliferation of epithelial cells. As this resembles the precancerous proliferative atrophy of human prostates with undifferentiated but intensively replicating epithelial cells, we utilized the PEARKO mice to characterize the epithelial response to...
