A Microchannel Neuroprosthesis for Bladder Control After Spinal Cord Injury in Rat

Stéphanie Lacour, Ivan Rusev Minev, Katherine Marie Musick

A severe complication of spinal cord injury is loss of bladder function (neurogenic bladder), which is characterized by loss of bladder sensation and voluntary control of micturition (urination), and spontaneous hyperreflexive voiding against a closed sphi ...

Culture and Characterization of Human and Porcine Urothelial Progenitor Cells

Hans Mattias Larsson

An estimated 400 million people worldwide suffer from bladder diseases. However, little is known at the cellular level as to what causes or initiates many of these diseases. Therefore, this thesis has focused on understanding one cell type within the bladd ...

Characterization of N-cadherin unbinding properties in non-malignant (HCV29) and malignant (T24) bladder cells

Andrzej Kulik

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 ...

Hydrogels for Urinary Tract Tissue Engineering

Lionel Ambroise Micol

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 ...
