Multisystem Neuroprosthetic Training Improves Bladder Function After Severe Spinal Cord Injury

Grégoire Courtine, Rubia van den Brand, Daniel Eberli

Severe spinal cord injury leads to neurogenic bladder dysfunction. We recently developed a multisystem neuroprosthetic training program that promotes plastic changes capable of restoring refined locomotion in rats with severe spinal cord injury. We investi ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Tissue engineering of the bladder

Catharina Adelöw

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 ...

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 ...
