NIH grant awarded to Stanford University to study specialized mesenchyme in bladder health and develop non-addictive treatments for IC/BPS.
Description
This project aims to explore the role of specialized bladder mesenchyme (SAM) in regulating bladder innervation and urothelial integrity, using single-cell transcriptomics and molecular analysis. The research seeks to identify novel therapeutic targets to develop non-addictive treatments for Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome (IC/BPS).
