Increased levels of DNA methyltransferases are associated with the tumorigenic capacity of prostate cancer cells [PDF]
DNA methylation might be the earliest somatic genome changes in prostate cancer that also play an important role in the process of tumor invasion, growth and metastasis.

Influencing the conductance in biphenyl-like molecular junctions with THz radiation [PDF]
We investigate the torsional vibrations in biphenyl-like molecular junctions and transport properties in the presence of an external THz field. Ab-initio calculations including external electric fields show that the torsional angle {\phi} of a thiolated ...

Relationship Between Second to Fourth Digit Ratios and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia in Aging Men [PDF]
Introduction: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common prostate disease, characterized by benign enlargement of the prostate gland in aging men. Testosterone is said to be the major factor in development of BPH.

How to study basement membrane stiffness as a biophysical trigger in prostate cancer and other age-related pathologies or metabolic diseases [PDF]
Here we describe a protocol that can be used to study the biophysical microenvironment related to increased thickness and stiffness of the basement membrane (BM) during age-related pathologies and metabolic disorders (e.g. cancer, diabetes, microvascular

Stromal upregulation of lateral epithelial adhesions: gene expression analysis of signalling pathways in prostate epithelium [PDF]
Background: Stromal signalling increases the lateral cell adhesions of prostate epithelial cells grown in 3D culture. The aim of this study was to use microarray analysis to identify significant epithelial signalling pathways and genes in this process ...

Transgressivity in Key Functional Traits Rather Than Phenotypic Plasticity Promotes Stress Tolerance in A Hybrid Cordgrass [PDF]
Hybridization might promote offspring fitness via a greater tolerance to environmental stressors due to heterosis and higher levels of phenotypic plasticity.

The lower urinary tract (LUT), in particular the prostate, has been theoretically recognized as a target for SARS-CoV-2. Moreover, common pathophysiological mechanisms have been described for BPE/LUTS and COVID-19, including RAS dysregulation, androgen ...

Mechanisms of growth inhibition of primary prostate epithelial cells following gamma irradiation or photodynamic therapy including senscence, necrosis, and autophagy, but not apoptosis [PDF]
In comparison to more differentiated cells, prostate cancer stem-like cells are radioresistant, which could explain radio-recurrent prostate cancer. Improvement of radiotherapeutic efficacy may therefore require combination therapy.

Combination therapy for benign prostate hyperplasia-related urinary symptoms
Introduction. Non-neurogenic lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are a serious polyetiologic problem in the male population. The side effects of the medication agents used to treat LUTS significantly reduce treatment compliance.
