In the present studies, permeabilities of the apical membrane of dissected rabbit bladder epithelium to water, urea, ammonia, and protons were measured in Ussing chambers and averaged (in cm/s ...

UPEC invasion is contingent on the bacteria attaching themselves to plaques of proteins in the bladder epithelium called uroplakins. These plaques form initially as discoidal vesicles inside the ...

UTIs are typically caused by a subspecies of bacteria known as Uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC). These bacteria infect and multiply in the outer cells of bladder epithelium known as umbrella cells. Once ...

In summary, modification of the urothelium and/or loss of epithelial integrity in a number ... have an important role in the generation of urinary bladder dysfunction. L.A. Birder is an Assistant ...

Bladder cancer often develops in the form of malignant tumours. The most common case is cancer from the transitional ...

However, epithelial cancers — such as bladder cancer — also exhibit deregulation and mutation of FGFR3, but whether this contributes to tumorigenesis in vivo has remained unclear. To address ...
