## Abstract The prostatic epithelium is functionally organized in stem cell units. This unit consists of a slow turn over stem cell within the basal epithelial layer which can replenish itself and provide progeny which differentiate down either a neuroendocrine or exocrine pathway. The maturation a
## Background: We investigated the role of the transforming growth factor beta (tgf-beta) family in the neoplastic progression of the human prostate. ## Methods: Expression of tgf-beta mrna was measured by northern blot analysis of tissue extracts, and tgf-beta protein by immunohistochemical anal
