The female prostate was first described by Reijnier de Graaf in 1672, and even after several
years this gland is still a matter of controversy. Part of this is because the biological function …

The prostate comprises a glandular epithelium embedded within a fibromuscular stroma.
The stroma is a complex arrangement of cells and extracellular matrix (ECM) components in …

This study evaluated the effects of BPS (40 μg/kg/day, during 28 consecutive days) on the
male ventral prostate and female prostate of adult gerbils. For comparative purposes, gerbils …

Advances in prostatic stroma studies over the past few decades have demonstrated that the
stroma not only supports and nourishes the gland's secretory epithelium but also …

Abstract Ultimately, the Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus) have acquired a relevant
role in biological and biomedical experiments alongside other rodents. The use of gerbils in …

Anatomy of bat genital organs has been conventionally studied by gross and microscopic
observations to date. Here, we employ both histological observation and diceCT (diffusible …

Cancer is a multistep process that begins with the transformation of normal epithelial cells
and continues with tumor growth, stromal invasion and metastasis. The remodeling of the …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the development of male and female neonatal gerbil
prostate under normal conditions and exposed to bisphenol-A (BPA). Normal postnatal …

The normal growth, differentiation and maintenance of the morphofunctional integrity of the
prostate gland are dependent on the interaction of constant levels of androgens with their …
