Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia / Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction (BPH/LUTD) is a classic disease of aging which affects nearly all men. In Disease Models & Mechanisms, new research by Turco et al. identifies a surprising origin of this disease that traces back to the intrauterine environment of the developing male, challenging existing paradigms about when this disease process begins.
Here, we see vehicle-exposed prostate tissue stimulated with 0.1 Hz and 60 V for 10 seconds and imaged at 20X. The video is pseudocolored, with yellow showing maximal contraction and blue showing minimal.
