Journal ArticleDOI
Clonogenic multipotent stem cells in human adipose tissue differentiate into functional smooth muscle cells
TL;DR: Adipose-derived cells have the potential to differentiate into functional smooth muscle cells and, thus, adipose tissue can be a useful source of cells for treatment of injured tissues where smooth muscle plays an important role.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of acute and chronic psychological stress on bladder function in a rodent model.
Ariana L. Smith,Joanne Leung,Suny Kun,Rong Zhang,Iordanes Karagiannides,Shlomo Raz,Una Lee,Viktoriya Golovatscka,Charalabos Pothoulakis,Sylvie Bradesi,Emeran A. Mayer,Larissa V. Rodriguez +11 more
TL;DR: In rats, repeated psychological stress results in lasting alterations in micturition frequency, interval, and volume, and this rodent model may represent a valid tool for studying syndromes characterized by increased urinary frequency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic psychological stress in high-anxiety rats induces sustained bladder hyperalgesia.
Una J. Lee,A. Lenore Ackerman,Ais Wu,Rong Zhang,Joanne Leung,Sylvie Bradesi,Emeran A. Mayer,Larissa V. Rodriguez +7 more
TL;DR: The urinary frequency demonstrated previously in anxiety-prone rats exposed to chronic WAS seems to be associated with bladder hyperalgesia, suggesting that this is a potential model for future studies of bladder hypersensitivity syndromes such as interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome (IC/PBS).
Basic and Translational Science The Effects of Acute and Chronic Psychological Stress on Bladder Function in a Rodent Model

TL;DR: In this article, the authors characterized changes in micturition, anxiety-related behavior, and bladder pathology in rats exposed to repeated water avoidance (WA) stress, and found that repeated psychological stress results in lasting alterations in urinary frequency, interval, and volume.
Journal ArticleDOI
