The Current Use of Stem Cells in Bladder Tissue Regeneration and Bioengineering [PDF]
Biomedicines, 2017 Many pathological processes including neurogenic bladder and malignancy necessitate bladder reconstruction, which is currently performed using intestinal tissue. The use of intestinal tissue, however, subjects patients to metabolic abnormalities, bladder

PPARγ promotes urothelial remodeling during urinary tract obstruction [PDF]
Experimental and Molecular MedicineUrinary tract obstruction (UTO) is a common cause of kidney injury that can result in chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease. Heterogeneity in the extent of obstructive renal damage in humans with UTO implies the existence of unknown ...

Acellular foreskin dermal matrix is efficient in supporting the growth of urothelial cells derived from hypospadias patients [PDF]
Frontiers in PediatricsIntroductionHypospadias is a common congenital defect in males, with surgery remaining the primary treatment option. However, urethral reconstruction procedures often require additional tissue transplantation, which is limited by the availability of ...

Prognostic impact of perirenal fat stranding on oncologic outcomes in ureteral urothelial carcinoma [PDF]
Investigative and Clinical Urology, 2021 Purpose: Perirenal fat stranding (PRFS) is defined as linear areas of soft-tissue attenuation in the perirenal space that can result from ureteral obstruction.

Urea transporter UT-B deletion induces DNA damage and apoptosis in mouse bladder urothelium. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BackgroundPrevious studies found that urea transporter UT-B is abundantly expressed in bladder urothelium. However, the dynamic role of UT-B in bladder urothelial cells remains unclear.
