Bmi1 marks distinct castration-resistant luminal progenitor cells competent for prostate regeneration and tumour initiation

Identification of defined cell populations with stem/progenitor properties is key for understanding prostate development and tumorigenesis. Here we show that the polycomb repressor protein Bmi1 marks a population of castration-resistant luminal epithelial cells enriched in the mouse proximal prostat...
