We have identified two synthetic oligonucleotides (aptamers) that bind to prostate cancer cells,with low nanomolar affinity, via the extracellular portion of the prostate-specificmembrane antigen… (More)
In this study we report the prevalence and growth rate of human benign prostatic hyperplasia with age by combining and analyzing data from 10 independent studies containing more than 1,000 prostates.… (More)
Mammalian sperm DNA is the most tightly compacted eukaryotic DNA, being at least sixfold more highly condensed than the DNA in mitotic chromosomes. To achieve this high degree of packaging, sperm DNA… (More)
The interphase nucleus is characterized by a nuclear matrix structure that forms a residual scaffolding composed of approximately 10% of the total nuclear proteins. The nuclear matrix contains… (More)
PURPOSE
Before this study, the highest reported incidence of prostate cancer in the world was thought to be among United States black men. The age adjusted rates in 1992 for United States black and… (More)
The prostate gland is the major site of medical problems in the U.S. male. Surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia is the most common surgical procedure performed in males, and the total cost for… (More)
PURPOSE
We present a new hypothesis suggesting that the different malignant potential of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and high grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia may be explained by… (More)
The etiology and pathogenesis of nonbacterial prostatitis remains unclear. This study provides evidence that genetic background, advancing age, and hormonal imbalance are important etiologic factors… (More)
The extent of chromosomal rearrangements correlates positively with the level of expression of the nuclear matrix high mobility group (HMG) proteins HMGI(Y) when tested in three human prostate cancer… (More)
