Sensory innervation in the prostate and a role for calcitonin gene-related peptide in prostatic epithelial proliferation
These findings suggest that sensory neurons might have developmental or homeostatic effects within the prostate. Further studies are warranted to assess the role of sensory neurons and the sensory neuropeptides on prostatic development and on proliferation in the presence of pro-inflammatory stimuli such as bacterial infection or tumor cells.
