## BACKGROUND. Organ culture methods have long been used in the study of the prostate because effects of drugs and hormones can be examined in the absence of systemic effects. METHODS. Neonatal rat ventral prostates (VP) were grown on Millipore filters floating on fluid medium composed of Dulbecco
Within the first 24 h after castration of an adult male rat, the vascular system of the ventral prostate gland undergoes a degenerative process that drastically reduces blood flow to the tissue. Since the vascular degeneration precedes the loss of the prostatic epithelium (by apoptosis), we have pro
## BACKGROUND. Urologists are looking for a way to easily discriminate between aggressive and very slow-growing prostate tumors. A sound way to appreciate such developing activities would be to identify an appropriate cell marker in prostate explants maintained in a defined culture system. METHODS
