Basal epithelial cells in treating prostate cancer
15 Basal epithelial cells are a blood–prostate barrier between luminal cells and basement membrane 16 but are absent in prostate carcinoma. 17–19 Loss of basal epithelial cells is a characteristic of prostate carcinoma 20,21 and one of the diagnostic criteria of prostate cancer, 19 suggesting that some essential connections might exist between basal epithelial cells and prostate cancer cells. So, we put out a question regarding whether basal epithelial cells could suppress migration or invasion of prostate cancer cells when basal epithelial cells are artificially added into a cultured sys...
