Murine Prostate Micro-dissection and Surgical Castration. [PDF]
J Vis Exp, 2016 Mouse models are used extensively to study prostate cancer and other diseases. The mouse is an excellent model with which to study the prostate and has been used as a surrogate for discoveries in human prostate development and disease. Prostate micro-dissection allows consistent study of lobe-specific prostate anatomy, histology, and cellular ...
