Stem cell use in bladder tissue engineering is a recently addressed area of investigation that has generated excitement as a novel way to restore and regenerate lost or damaged urinary bladder tissue. The remodelling of smooth muscle plays a significant ro ...
Fluorescence detection of early superficial bladder cancer has been well established over the last years. This technique exploits the selective production and accumulation within cancerous tissues of photoactive porphyrins (PaP), mainly protoporphyrin IX ( ...
The expression of N-cadherin, characteristic of various cancers, very often leads to changes in the cells' adhesive properties. Thus, we sought to find out if N-cadherin expressed in various, but cancer-related cells, differs in its functional properties t ...
Several urinary tract disorders, such as hypospadias or bladder cancer, require reconstructive surgery to preserve the patient's quality of life and at times even save their life. The current available surgical treatments, involving grafts from other tissu ...
Fluorescence cystoscopy has been recently acknowledged as a useful method to detect early superficial bladder cancer, even flat lesions. After the instillation of hexaminolevulinic acid (Hexvix®) in the bladder for about an hour, photoactivable porphyrins ...
Since several decades, the physicians are able to access hollow organs with endoscopic methods, which serve both as diagnostic and surgical means in a wide range of disciplines of the modern medicine (e.g. urology, pneumology, gastroenterology). Unfortunat ...
The hallmarks of cancer comprise six biological capabilities acquired during the multistep development of human tumors. The hallmarks constitute an organizing principle for rationalizing the complexities of neoplastic disease. They include sustaining proli ...
Fluorescence imaging for detection of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer is based on the selective production and accumulation of fluorescing porphyrins-mainly, protoporphyrin IX-in cancerous tissues after the instillation of Hexvix (R). Although the sensi ...
Changes in the glycosylation pattern of cellular glycoproteins constitute a hallmark in human cancer and influence tumour progression, suggesting that inhibitors of selected glycosidases may control cancer invasion. Following the studies on swainsonine, a ...
Fluorescence cystoscopy has been recently acknowledged as a useful method to detect early superficial bladder cancer, even flat lesions. After the instillation of hexaminolevulinic acid (Hexvix®) in the bladder for about an hour, photoactivable porphyrins ...
