Progesterone receptor (PR) mediates the actions of the ovarian steroid progesterone, which
together with estradiol regulates gonadotropin secretion, prepares the endometrium for …

Uterine leiomyomata (ULs) represent the most common tumor in women and can cause
abnormal uterine bleeding, large pelvic masses, and recurrent pregnancy loss. Although the …

This review on normal and neoplastic growth of the prostate emphasizes the importance of
epithelial–mesenchymal/stromal interactions. Accordingly, during prostatic development …

Steroid sex hormones (17β-estradiol, testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, and progesterone)
and aryl hydrocarbons such as the dioxins regulate epithelial proliferation and secretory …

The transcription factor p63 is important in the development of the skin as p63-null mice exhibit
striking defects in embryonic epidermal morphogenesis. Understanding the mechanisms …

The role of epithelial and stromal progesterone (P) receptors (PR) in the regulation of
uterine epithelial DNA synthesis by P was investigated by analyzing the four types of tissue …

The prostate contains two major epithelial cell types – luminal and basal cells - both of which
develop from urogenital sinus epithelium. The cell linage relationship between these two …

Uterine leiomyomas are extremely common estrogen and progesterone-dependent tumors
of the myometrium and cause irregular uterine bleeding, severe anemia, and recurrent …

During organogenesis, the middle to caudal portion of Müllerian epithelium differentiates
into uterine and vaginal epithelia in females. Functional differentiation of uterine and vaginal …

Estradiol 17-β (E 2 ) induces epithelial proliferation, stratification, and cornification in vaginal
epithelium. Our aim was to determine the respective roles of epithelial and stromal estrogen …
