Autologous gastrointestinal tissue has remained the gold-standard reconstructive
biomaterial in urology for> 100 years. Mucus-secreting epithelium is associated with lifelong …

Ileal conduit urinary diversion is the gold standard treatment for urinary tract reconstruction
following cystectomy. This procedure uses gastrointestinal segments for bladder …

Biologic scaffolds composed of extracellular matrix (ECM) have been used successfully in
preclinical models and humans for constructive remodeling of functional, site-appropriate …

Here, we report the design and development of highly stretchable, compliant, and enzymatic-
resistant transiently cross-linked decellularized extracellular matrixes (dECMs)(eg, porcine …

Aims: To generate a comprehensive profile of the protein composition of xenogeneic
biomaterial, derived from porcine urinary bladder matrix (UBM). Materials & methods: Tunica …

Objective To evaluate the mechanical properties of gastrointestinal (GI) tissue segments and
to compare them with the urinary bladder for urinary tract reconstruction. Methods Urinary …

Non-muscular invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is one of the most common cancer and
major cause of economical and health burden in developed countries. Progression of …

Purpose Enterocystoplasty is adopted for patients requiring bladder augmentation, but
significant long-term complications highlight need for alternatives. We established a protocol …

The clinical success of tissue-engineered constructs commonly requires mechanical
properties that closely mimic those of the human tissue. Determining the viscoelastic …
