Physiological and pathophysiological implications of micromotion activity in urinary bladder function (2015)
Journal Article
Drake, M. J., Vahabi, B., Vahabi, B., & Drake, M. J. (2015). Physiological and pathophysiological implications of micromotion activity in urinary bladder function. Acta Physiologica, 213(2), 360-370. https://doi.org/10.1111/apha.12373

© 2014 Scandinavian Physiological Society. 'Micromotions' is a term signifying the presence of localized microcontractions and microelongations, alongside non-motile areas. The motile areas tend to shift over the bladder surface with time, and the in...

Materials and Methods: Bladders from 3 week old Wistar rats were studied. End-point PCR on total mR... Read More about Anoctamin-1 in the juvenile rat urinary bladder.

Trpm8 agonists modulate contraction of the pig urinary bladder (2013)
Journal Article

The transient receptor potential melastin-8 (TRPM8) channel is activated by the "cooling" compounds menthol and icilin. Pathophysiologically, it is implicated in the overactive bladder and bladder cooling reflex, but the activity of TRPM8 in normal b...
