Abstract excerpt
Three fibroblast growth factors (FGFs), acidic FGF (FGF1), basic FGF (FGF2), and keratinocyte growth factor (FGF7) have been identified in prostate. To understand how FGFs regulate growth of the prostate, and to determine if regulation is altered in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), the mitogenic potential of FGFs, receptor binding, and FGF-receptor (FGFR) gene expression of stromal (PS) and epithelial cells...
