NIH awarded a grant to study the role of fibroblasts in bladder mucosal function, focusing on bladder rugae formation and nerve signaling using genetic knockout models.
Description
The project focuses on defining how contraction of suburothelial fibroblasts regulates bladder rugae formation and their role in nerve signaling. The study involves genetic knockout models and assessments of bladder function. The project is funded by NIH PA-20-185.
