Reciprocal signaling between mouse prostate epithelial and stromal progenitor cells. Mouse prostate stromal cells signal to epithelium through Wnt ligands, fibroblast growth factors (FGFs), and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β). Mouse prostate basal cells signal to a number of stromal cell-types through Sonic hedgehog.
