Cells in Urothelium Tissue Engineering
, 2021 International audienceUrothelium is a highly specialized epithelium covering the entire urinary excretory system. Tissue engineering of this urinary tract may allow to consider its reconstruction to perform in vitro studies or in vivo replacement ...

Diabetes-induced alterations in urothelium function:Enhanced ATP release and nerve-evoked contractions in the streptozotocin rat bladder [PDF]
, 2018 Up to 80% of patients with diabetes mellitus develop lower urinary tract complications, most commonly diabetic bladder dysfunction (DBD). The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of diabetes on the function of the inner bladder lining ...

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 ...

TUMORS OF THE UPPER UROTHELIUM [PDF]
American Journal of Roentgenology, 1975 Forty-two cases of malignant tumors of renal pelvis were reviewed: 28 were transitional cell carcinomas; and 14 were squamous cell carcinomas.The natural history and spread of the disease is discussed in detail. Transitional cell carcinomas spread primarily to the ureter (40 per cent), followed closely by the renal bed (33 per cent) and bladder (30 per

K-Ras and β-catenin mutations cooperate with Fgfr3 mutations in mice to promote tumorigenesis in the skin and lung, but not in the bladder [PDF]
, 2011 The human fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) gene is frequently mutated in superficial urothelial cell carcinoma (UCC). To test the functional significance of FGFR3 activating mutations as a ‘driver’ of UCC, we targeted the expression of mutated

The Current Use of Stem Cells in Bladder Tissue Regeneration and Bioengineering
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

Altered expression of transmembrane mucins, MUC1 and MUC4, in bladder cancer: pathological implications in diagnosis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Radical changes in both expression and glycosylation pattern of transmembrane mucins have been observed in various malignancies. We and others have shown that MUC1 and MUC4, two transmembrane mucins, play a sentinel role in cell signaling events that ...
