A team of Northwestern scientists has developed an electroactive "scaffolding" material that improves bladder tissue regeneration and organ function better than current techniques, as detailed in a ...

There was a lack of effective, cell-free biomaterials for bladder tissue regeneration that could reliably restore function without the complexities and risks of cell-seeded scaffolds. The breakthrough ...

The function of the lower urinary tract — to store and periodically eliminate urine — seems simple, but its neuronal control is complex and not fully understood, and dysfunction is common. Functional ...

Neurogenic bladder dysfunction, such as detrusor muscle hyperactivity and dyssynergia with the external urethral sphincter (EUS), are common long-term consequences affecting the wellbeing of patients ...

Spinal cord injuries have a profound effect on bladder as well as bowel function. There are several patterns of bladder dysfunction that develop. The problems that occur are very dependent on how the ...

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SpineX Inc., a clinical stage bioelectric medtech company, has had an important publication accepted in the prestigious Journal of Urology. The publication, entitled A ...

Graphical comparison of bladder augmentation surgery using either ileum (top) or a cell-seeded, biodegradable scaffold (bottom). MSCs and HSPCs represent different types of stem cells found in the ...
