OBJECTIVE To determine the combined effects of nerve growth factor (NGF) and vascular
endothelial growth factor (VEGF) on regeneration of the bladder acellular matrix graft …

Spinal cord injury (SCI) rostral to the lumbosacral level causes bladder hyperreflexia and
detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia (DSD), which are accompanied by bladder hypertrophy. We …

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effect of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) on
regeneration of the bladder acellular matrix graft (BAMG). METHODS: A total of 40 female …

OBJECTIVES: To assess the feasibility of bladder acellular matrix (BAM) grafting onto the
bladder of rats with spinal cord injury (SCI). METHODS: Female Wistar rats, weighing 100 to …

Experiments on spinal cord injury (SCI) have largely focused on the transplantation of stem
cells into injured spinal cords for motor recovery while neglecting to investigate bladder …

Nerve growth factor (NGF) has been proposed as an important mediator inducing bladder
overactivity under pathological conditions such as spinal cord injury, bladder outlet …

Background To compare the effects of various recombinant growth factors on bladder
regeneration and angiogenesis for tissue engineering of bladder in patients with neurogenic …

Severe spinal cord injury leads to neurogenic bladder dysfunction. We recently developed a
multisystem neuroprosthetic training program that promotes plastic changes capable of …

The loss of lower urinary tract (LUT) control is a ubiquitous consequence of a complete
spinal cord injury, attributed to a lack of regeneration of supraspinal pathways controlling the …

Aims To investigate the role of nerve growth factor (NGF) in lower urinary tract dysfunction in
mice with spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods Using 4‐week SCI mice, single‐filling cystometry …
