Our findings reveal that, as the animals age, there is an increase of proliferation in restricted areas of the prostate epithelium, and a concomitant reduction of the apoptosis rate with an increase in cell survival induced by caspase-8, indicating a focused and spontaneous disruption of tissue homeostasis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
