Signalling Molecules in the Urothelium [PDF]
BioMed Research International, 2014 The urothelium was long considered to be a silent barrier protecting the body from the toxic effects of urine. However, today a number of dynamic abilities of the urothelium are well recognized, including its ability to act as a sensor of the intravesical environment. During recent years several pathways of these urothelial abilities have been proposed

BMC Urology, 2010 Background There seems to be no consensus concerning taking bladder biopsies during transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TUR-BT). We investigate the clinical significance of bladder biopsy with TUR-BT and the relationship between urinary cytology ...

Upk3b is dispensable for development and integrity of urothelium and mesothelium. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The mesothelium, the lining of the coelomic cavities, and the urothelium, the inner lining of the urinary drainage system, are highly specialized epithelia that protect the underlying tissues from mechanical stress and seal them from the overlying fluid ...

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) ecology-pathophysiology from the gut reservoir to its urothelium infection site is poorly understood, resulting in equivocal benefits in the use of cranberry as prophylaxis against urinary tract infections.

Serotonin and Noradrenaline Reuptake Inhibitors Improve Micturition Control in Mice [PDF]
, 2015 Poor micturition control may cause profound distress, because proper voiding is mandatory for an active social life. Micturition results from the subtle interplay of central and peripheral components.

Agent-based computational modeling of wounded epithelial cell monolayers [PDF]
, 2004 Computational modeling of biological systems, or ‘in silico biology’ is an emerging tool for understanding structure and order in biological tissues. Computational models of the behavior of epithelial cells in monolayer cell culture have been developed ...

Urine-Derived Stem Cells for Epithelial Tissues Reconstruction and Wound Healing
Pharmaceutics, 2022 Epithelial tissue injury can occur on any surface site of the body, particularly in the skin or urethral mucosa tissue, due to trauma, infection, inflammation, and toxic compounds.

A Biomimetic Porcine Urothelial Model for Assessing Escherichia coli Pathogenicity
Microorganisms, 2022 Urinary tract infections can be severe, sometimes fatal, diseases whose etiological pathogens are predominantly uropathogenic strains of E. coli (UPEC).

Transurethral resection and surveillance of bladder cancer supported by 5-aminolevulinic acid-induced fluorescence endoscopy [PDF]
, 1999 Purpose: We determined whether neoplastic disease, which was missed under white light can be found during transurethral resection of bladder cancer by 5-aminolevulinic acid-induced porphyrin fluorescence.
