Abstract
This review summarizes the current state of knowledge regarding the proteins composing the extracellular matrix in the human prostate. The normal expression as well as the changes which occur in PIN and carcinoma are described for the lamins, collagens, and glycosaminoglycans. Β© 2003 WileyβLiss, Inc.

## Abstract Hypoxiaβinducible factorβ1 (HIFβ1) plays an important role in stressβresponsive gene expression. Although primarily sensitive to hypoxia, HIFβ1 signaling can be regulated by a number of stress factors including metabolic stress, growth factors and molecules present in the extracellular
## Abstract The principles and ultimate goals of regenerative medicine and developmental biology involve a complex sequence of events, culminating in the formation of structurally and functionally normal tissues and organs. The molecular composition of the extracellular matrix (ECM) plays a critica
## Abstract Although it is often presumed that the molecular pathways that underlie normal organogenesis are similar to those perturbed during carcinogenesis, few examples exist of tissueβspecific regulatory genes that play central roles in both processes. In the case of the prostate gland, molecul
