Culture and Characterization of Human and Porcine Urothelial Progenitor Cells

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 ...

Concurrent recordings of bladder afferents from multiple nerves using a microfabricated PDMS microchannel electrode array

Stéphanie Lacour, Ivan Rusev Minev

In this paper we present a compliant neural interface designed to record bladder afferent activity. We developed the implant's microfabrication process using multiple layers of silicone rubber and thin metal so that a gold microelectrode array is embedded ...

In-vivo performance of high-density collagen gel tubes for urethral regeneration in a rabbit model

Peter Frey, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Lionel Ambroise Micol

Congenital malformations or injuries of the urethra can be treated using existing autologous tissue, but these procedures are sometimes associated with severe complications. Therefore, tissue engineering may be advantageous for generating urethral grafts. ...

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 ...

High-density collagen gel tubes as a matrix for primary human bladder smooth muscle cells

Peter Frey, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Lionel Ambroise Micol

Tissue-engineered grafts for the urinary tract are being investigated for the potential treatment of several urologic diseases. These grafts, predominantly tubular-shaped, usually require in vitro culture prior to implantation to allow cell engraftment on ...

Endoscopic Fluorescence Imaging

Blaise Lovisa

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 ...

In vivo study of an injectable poly(acrylonitrile)-based hydrogel paste as a bulking agent for the treatment of urinary incontinence

Peter Frey, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Lionel Ambroise Micol

Urinary incontinence can be treated by endoscopic injection of bulking agents, however, no optimal therapeutic effect has been achieved upon this treatment yet. In the present study, the development of a injectable poly(acrylonitrile) hydrogel paste is des ...

Photodynamic diagnostics in the urinary tract. Consensus paper of the Working Group for Oncology of the German Society for Urology

Hubert van den Bergh

Because of the frequency of occurrence and the long protracted course, bladder carcinoma is the most expensive solid tumor in terms of costs, from diagnosis to death of the patient. The most important cost factor within the total cost is the treatment of r ...

Fluorescence cystoscopy: Perspective in clinical practice and research

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Blaise Lovisa

Many studies confirm the clinical interest of photodynamic diagnostics (PDD) in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer management. PDD or fluorescence cystoscopy is not only of great value in occult urothelial cancer detection, but may have a positive impact o ...

Human urothelial cells grown on collagen adsorbed to surface-modified polymers

Florian Maria Wurm, Peter Frey

OBJECTIVES: Tissue engineering methods can be applied to regenerate diseased, or congenitally missing, urinary tract tissues. Urinary tract tissue cell cultures must be established in vitro and adequate matrices, acting as cell carriers, must be developed. ...
