Abstract:
We have investigated the non-androgenic factors that induce the prostatic buds from the sinus epithelium. The buds were found to be induced in the explants cultured in the androgen-deficient medium containing 20 ng/ml rat keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) irrespective of the sex of the sinus.
