A team of Northwestern scientists has developed an electroactive "scaffolding" material that improves bladder tissue regeneration and organ function better than current techniques, as detailed in a ...

The function of the lower urinary tract — to store and periodically eliminate urine — seems simple, but its neuronal control is complex and not fully understood, and dysfunction is common. Functional ...

There was a lack of effective, cell-free biomaterials for bladder tissue regeneration that could reliably restore function without the complexities and risks of cell-seeded scaffolds. The breakthrough ...

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SpineX Inc., a clinical stage bioelectric medtech company, has had an important publication accepted in the prestigious Journal of Urology. The publication, entitled A ...

Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is thought to lead to renal scarring and urinary tract infection (UTI) in children, yet prognostic factors that predict the clinical outcome of VUR remain unknown. Previous ...

A team co-led by scientists at Scripps Research has found that the main sensor protein enabling our sense of touch also underlies the feeling of having a full bladder and makes normal bladder function ...

Graphical comparison of bladder augmentation surgery using either ileum (top) or a cell-seeded, biodegradable scaffold (bottom). MSCs and HSPCs represent different types of stem cells found in the ...

Neurogenic bladder is when you have urinary problems related to issues with your brain, spinal cord, or other nerves. It’s a common problem among people with cerebral palsy. Share on Pinterest FG ...
