Targeting Itga8 Mitigates Neurogenic Bladder Fibrosis Driven by Trem2⁺ Macrophage‐Derived Fn1 via FAK/RhoA/ROCK Signaling

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 9, 13 February 2026.
Normal bladders exhibit quiescent fibroblasts/macrophages, whereas neurogenic bladders show acute‐phase Itga8⁺ fibroblast expansion driven by Trem2⁺ macrophage‐secreted Fn1, which activates FAK/RhoA/ROCK signaling, promotes cytoskeletal remodeling, and upregulates pro‐fibrotic genes.

A Stable Edge‐Aware GAN Approach for Data Augmentation and Privacy‐Preserving High‐Fidelity CT Synthesis

Applied AI Letters, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
The framework addresses limitations of conventional GANs by integrating learnable edge kernels and interpolated skip connections with an edge‐aware discriminator, enabling stable training and improved anatomical fidelity. The resulting synthetic CT images exhibit sharper edges, higher realism, and strong diagnostic plausibility, supporting privacy ...

Post‐pubertal stability of split renal function after pyeloplasty performed in childhood

BJUI Compass, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Objectives While early outcomes after pyeloplasty are well‐documented, long‐term split renal function (SRF) stability, particularly beyond puberty, remains unclear. This study evaluates SRF after prepubertal pyeloplasty and identifies factors associated with late deterioration.

Endoscopic management of ureteral injuries arising from gynecologic procedures

BJUI Compass, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Introduction Ureteral injuries during gynecologic surgery are uncommon (0.1%–2.5%) but may result in significant morbidity, including strictures, hydronephrosis and the need for additional interventions. This study evaluates the effectiveness of retrograde endoscopic management in treating iatrogenic ureteral injuries.
