The urothelium, which lines the inner surface of the renal pelvis, the ureters, and the urinary
bladder, not only forms a high-resistance barrier to ion, solute and water flux, and …

The urothelium, which lines the renal pelvis, ureters, urinary bladder, and proximal urethra,
forms a high-resistance but adaptable barrier that surveils its mechanochemical …

Introduction The normal bladder functions, storage and elimination of urine, are based on a
coordinated interplay of reciprocal contraction and relaxation of the bladder and the outflow …

The uroepithelium sits at the interface between the urinary space and underlying tissues,
where it forms a high-resistance barrier to ion, solute, and water flux, as well as pathogens …

In the urinary bladder, the capsaicin-gated ion channel TRPV1 is expressed both within
afferent nerve terminals and within the epithelial cells that line the bladder lumen. To …

The uroepithelium lines the inner surface of the renal pelvis, the ureters, and the urinary
bladder, where it forms a tight barrier that allows for retention of urine, while preventing the …

Materials and Methods Reverse Transcription–PCR. Poly (A) RNA was isolated from tissue
or cultured cells by homogenization in Trizol (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY) followed …

Although the urinary bladder urothelium has classically been thought of as a passive barrier
to ions and solutes, a number of novel properties have been recently attributed to urothelial …

Storage and periodic expulsion of urine is regulated by a neural control system in the brain
and spinal cord that coordinates the reciprocal activity of two functional units in the lower …
