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 ...

Neurogenic bladder dysfunction, such as detrusor muscle hyperactivity and dyssynergia with the external urethral sphincter (EUS), are common long-term consequences affecting the wellbeing of patients ...

Using a novel technique to promote the regeneration of nerve cells across the site of severe spinal cord injury, researchers have restored bladder function in paralyzed adult rats, according to a new ...

IT has been known for some time that after an attack of acute pancreatitis an intrinsically "normal" gall bladder may not function temporarily (as evidenced by cholecystography). 1 As far as we are ...

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 ...

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 ...
