New study of the molecular roots of recurrent bladder infections could lead to a vaccine

By on Monday, February 18th, 2013 | No Comments

Urinary tract infections are the second most common bacterial infection in humans, and many of them are recurrent. A new study reveals the cellular and molecular basis of recurrent bladder infections and suggests possible treatment strategies, such as vaccines, to prevent this common problem.

Got to go? Scientists figure out how you know

By on Saturday, February 9th, 2013 | No Comments

Help is on the way for overactive bladder or incontinence. According to new research the epithelium, a layer of cells lining the bladder’s surface, senses bladder fullness through proteins called integrins. As the bladder becomes full, the epithelium stretches and becomes thinner, activating the integrins, which sends information to nerves and other cells. This research may help design drugs that target this mechanism to treat incontinence and overactive bladder.

Achilles’ heel in aggressive breast tumors uncovered

By on Thursday, June 28th, 2012 | No Comments

In an unexpected twist, researchers find that the loss of a single protein, Nedd9, initially slows cancer formation but then makes the tumors that do arise more aggressive. The good news, though, is that the lack of Nedd9 also makes the aggressive tumors more sensitive to a class of drugs that are already used in the clinic.

Full bladder, better decisions? Controlling your bladder decreases impulsive choices

By on Thursday, June 28th, 2012 | No Comments

What should you do when you really, really have to “go”? Make important life decisions, maybe. Controlling your bladder makes you better at controlling yourself when making decisions about your future, too, according to a new study.

New strategy to combat cystitis

By on Thursday, June 28th, 2012 | No Comments

One in three women will be faced at least once in her life with cystitis. Cystitis is caused by Escherichia coli bacteria which fasten on to the wall of the bladder by means of thread-like structures (pili). Researchers in Belgium now reveal the complex interactions which lead to the formation of these pili. This knowledge can be used to develop new antibiotics to treat infections of the urinary tract.
