Research project funded by NIDDK to study purinergic signaling in bladder arterioles to develop treatments for bladder dysfunction.
Description
Development of effective treatments for bladder dysfunction by investigating purinergic signaling's role in bladder blood flow regulation. The research involves studying P2X receptors in bladder vasculature, source of endogenous ATP, and effects of receptor modulation on blood flow using techniques like qPCR, immunohistochemistry, pressure myography, Laser Doppler flowmetry, and intravital microscopy.
