Objective: In order to encourage the inclusion of bladder and bowel outcome measures in
preclinical spinal cord injury (SCI) research, this paper identifies and categorizes 1) …

Acellular scaffolds derived from Bombyx mori silk fibroin were investigated for their ability to
support functional tissue regeneration in a porcine model of augmentation cystoplasty. Two …

Adverse side-effects associated with enterocystoplasty for neurogenic bladder
reconstruction have spawned the need for the development of alternative graft substitutes. Bi …

Tissue engineering is defined as the combination of biomaterials and bioengineering
principles together with cell transplantation or directed growth of host cells to develop a …

Neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) is among the most challenging complications of
spinal cord injury (SCI). A recent report by us demonstrated an improvement in NDO in SCI …

Neurogenic detrusor overactivity and the associated loss of bladder control are among the
most challenging complications of spinal cord injury (SCI). Anticholinergic agents are the …

Neurogenic bladder (NB) affects people of all ages. Electric impedance myography (EIM)
assesses localized muscle abnormalities. Here, we sought to investigate whether unique …

Introduction Sacral neuromodulation has been considered as an effective treatment option
for various types of chronic voiding dysfunction, but the mechanism of action has not been …

Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 4 (TRPM4) has been
shown to play a key role in detrusor contractility under physiological conditions. In this study …

Objective. Lower urinary tract (LUT) dysfunction is a monumental problem affecting quality of
life following neurotrauma, such as spinal cord injury (SCI). Proper function of the bladder …
