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

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
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.

Bacterial Biofilm Development and Its Relationship with Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection

Stresses
Biofilms are structured communities of microorganisms embedded in a self-produced extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) matrix; they form by sticking to a surface, growing in number, spreading out, developing fully, and breaking apart.

Use of in vitro and haptic assessments in the characterisation of surface lubricity [PDF]

, 2018
Lubricity is a key property of hydrophilic-coated urinary catheter surfaces. In vitro tests are commonly employed for evaluation of surface properties in the development of novel catheter coating technologies, however, their value in predicting the more ...

A Sirtuin‐1‐Targeted Gene‐Activating Tetrahedral DNA Attenuates Bladder Fibrosis by Restoring Mitophagy in Fibroblasts via the SIRT1‐FOXO3‐BNIP3 Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The SIRT1‐targeted saRNA‐delivering tetrahedral DNA (TSA) treatment effectively upregulates SIRT1 expression, which subsequently promotes FOXO3A deacetylation. This deacetylation event relieves FOXO3A's transcriptional repression on the BNIP3 gene, thereby initiating PINK1‐PARKIN‐dependent mitophagy.

Integrated Ultrasound Device for Precision Bladder Volume Monitoring via Acoustic Focusing and Machine Learning

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We present a conformable wearable ultrasound patch for noninvasive bladder volume monitoring. A flexible PZT array combined with a concave acoustic lens concentrates acoustic energy and improves depth selectivity through the anterior pelvic wall.

Smart bacteria-responsive coatings for combating catheter-associated urinary tract infections

Materials Today Bio
As one of the leading hospital-acquired infections (HAI), catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) can not only give rise to high treatment costs, but may also lead to serious after effects like pyelonephritis, sepsis, bacteremia, and even ...

An animal experimental study on pubourethral ligament restoration with platelet rich plasma for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence. [PDF]

, 2019
Introduction: Minimally invasive methods for injured ligament and tendon restoration have been developed and gained popularity in recent years. Injury and relaxation of the pubourethral ligament (PUL) can lead to stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
