Prostasomes: a role in prostatic disease?
Prostasomes: a role in prostatic disease?
Prostasomes are membrane-bound secretory vesicles, in the nanometre diameter range, secreted by the prostatic ductal epithelium [1] into the lumen, where they form part of the ejaculate. Although known to have specific biological properties, their physiological role and overall significance remain far more debatable. There has been comparatively little written about these structures since their detection two decades ago, and this may help explain the relative lack of awareness of prostasomes within the urological community.

Abstract
Prostasomes are membrane-bound secretory vesicles, in the nanometre diameter range, secreted by the prostatic ductal epithelium [1] into the lumen, where they form part of the ejaculate. Although known to have specific biological properties, their physiological role and overall significance remain far more debatable. There has been comparatively little written about these structures since their detection two decades ago, and this may help explain the relative lack of awareness of prostasomes within the urological community.
