. 2022 Sep;
323(5):R682-R693.
PMID: 36121145
Storage and voiding functions in urinary bladder are well-known, yet fundamental physiological events coordinating these behaviors remain elusive. We sought to understand how voiding function is influenced by the rate...

Front Pain Res (Lausanne)
. 2022 Mar;
2:748385.
PMID: 35295484
In the urinary bladder, mechanosensitive ion channels (MSCs) underlie the transduction of bladder stretch into sensory signals that are relayed to the PNS and CNS. PIEZO1 is a recently identified...
