Abstract

The identification of stem cells and differentiation programs regulating the development and maintenance of the normal prostate epithelium is essential for the identification of the cell type(s) and molecular alterations involved in the development and propagation of prostate cancer (CaP). The p53‐homologue p63 is highly expressed in normal prostate basal cells and is a clinically useful biomarker for the diagnosis of CaP. Importantly, p63 has been shown to play a critical role in prostate development. Recent experimental evidence also suggests that this gene is essential for normal stem cell function in the prostate as well as other epithelial organs. Future studies aimed at better defining the role of p63 in the renewal of the adult prostate epithelium are likely to shed new light on the mechanisms involved in prostate carcinogenesis. J. Cell.

## Abstract Vitamin D is a steroid pro‐hormone, whose active metabolite binds the vitamin D receptor (VDR) which, in turn, binds to DNA sequences on target genes as a heterodimer with the retinoid‐X receptor, resulting in regulation of gene expression. The vitamin D pro‐hormone can be synthesized i

CD146, also known as Mel-CAM, MUC18, A32 antigen, and S-Endo-1, is a membrane glycoprotein which functions as a Ca 2+ -independent cell adhesion molecule involved in heterophilic cell-cell interactions. Based on homology of the nucleotide sequence, CD146 is classified as a member of the immunoglobul

## Abstract The CNS contains relatively few unmyelinated nerve fibers, and thus benefits from the advantages that are conferred by myelination, including faster conduction velocities, lower energy consumption for impulse transmission, and greater stability of point‐to‐point connectivity. In the PNS
