Biomolecular Markers in Prostate Cancer Development and Progression Model
Product Code : JC-BE-6151
The Biomolecular Markers in Prostate Cancer Development and Progression Model from Jaincolab is a three-dimensional teaching model that illustrates the key biomarkers involved in prostate cancer initiation and progression.
It is used in oncology and biochemistry courses to explain the roles of PSA, the androgen receptor, PTEN, and PSMA, along with how disease progresses from localized to castration-resistant prostate cancer.
What the Concept States
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) | Serum biomarker used for prostate cancer screening and monitoring |
| Androgen Receptor (AR) | Nuclear receptor driving prostate cell growth; a central target in cancer progression |
| PTEN Tumour Suppressor | Gene commonly lost or inactivated in prostate cancer, promoting uncontrolled growth |
| Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) | Cell surface marker overexpressed in prostate cancer, used in imaging and therapy |
| Gleason Grading | Histological grading system reflecting tumour differentiation and aggressiveness |
| Disease Progression | Stepwise molecular changes from localized disease to castration-resistant prostate cancer |
Key Features
- Shows the roles of PSA, AR, PTEN, and PSMA in prostate cancer
- Illustrates the molecular basis of disease progression
- Links biomarkers to Gleason grading and clinical staging
- Durable, exam-oriented construction for repeated classroom use
- Compact benchtop format suitable for laboratories and lecture halls

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does the Biomolecular Markers in Prostate Cancer Development and Progression Model demonstrate?
A. It demonstrates the roles of key biomarkers such as PSA, AR, PTEN, and PSMA in prostate cancer development and progression.
Q2. What is PSA used for?
A. PSA (prostate-specific antigen) is a serum biomarker used for prostate cancer screening and monitoring.
Q3. Why is the androgen receptor important in prostate cancer?
A. The androgen receptor drives prostate cell growth and is a central target in both cancer progression and hormone therapy.
Q4. What role does PTEN play?
A. PTEN is a tumour suppressor gene that is commonly lost or inactivated in prostate cancer, contributing to uncontrolled cell growth.
Q5. Who uses this model?
A. Oncology, biochemistry, and medical students and faculty use it to study prostate cancer biomarkers.
