Cystitis glandularis is a rare proliferative disorder of the mucus-producing glands within the mucosa and submucosa of the urinary bladder epithelium. Histologically, it is characterized by mucosal ...

Smooth muscle differentiation is induced in the embryonic bladder by the centrally located urothelium in the undifferentiated mesenchyme in the periphery adjacent to the serosa. We hypothesize that ...

Study design: A prospective, immunohistochemical study of bladder biopsies taken from spinal cord injury (SCI) patients. Objectives: To investigate whether cytokeratin 14 immunostaining may be useful ...

Background. Cathelicidin is a proposed defender against infection of the urinary tract via its antimicrobial properties, but its activity has not been delineated in a dedicated cystitis model. Methods ...

Recent statistics estimate that roughly one in three women will have had a urinary tract infection (UTI) by 24. Over a lifetime, more than half of women will have suffered a UTI. They are one of the ...

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Feb. 23, 2012) -- A pilot study led by University of Kentucky researchers shows that the gene expression analysis of urine sediment could provide a noninvasive way to analyze ...

A new study published on the preprint server bioRxiv*, in June 2020, reports that the condition of overactive bladder (OAB) could be associated with a different route of infection by severe acute ...

Scientists have developed two complementary bladder models to study urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by E. coli: bladder organoids and a bladder-on-a- chip. The two studies reveal how bacteria ...

One of the main challenges for treating urinary tract infections is their high recurrence, especially in women. The underlying mechanisms of this high recurrence rate are not well understood, but ...

Two new studies utilize novel organoid and organ-on-a-chip technology to investigate antibiotic resistance and urinary tract infection (UTI) recurrence. UTIs are typically caused by a subspecies of ...
