In the case of pediatric urology there are several congenital conditions, such as
hypospadias and neurogenic bladder, which affect, respectively, the urethra and the urinary …

Over the last few decades, both synthetic and natural materials have been utilized to
develop bladder substitutes. Most attempts have not been successful because of …

In this study, we compared four decellularization protocols and finally developed an
optimized one through which a porcine bladder acellular matrix (BAM) with well-preserved …

There is a demand for tissue engineering of the bladder needed by patients who experience
a neurogenic bladder or idiopathic detrusor overactivity. To avoid complications from …

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

Construction of the urinary bladder de novo using tissue engineering technologies is the
“holy grail” of reconstructive urology. The search for the ideal biomaterial for urinary bladder …

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 …

Tissue engineering (TE) is a rapidly evolving biomedical discipline that can play an
important role in treating neurogenic bladder dysfunction and compensating for current …

Study design: Literature review. Objectives: To present a comprehensive overview of
autonomic assessment in experimental spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods: A systematic …

Here, we describe a bilateral cervical contusion model for mice. Adult female mice received
graded bilateral contusion injuries at cervical level 5 (C5) using a commercially available …
