Tubular Compressed Collagen Scaffolds for Ureteral Tissue Engineering in a Flow Bioreactor System

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Peter Frey, Hans Mattias Larsson, Elif Vardar

Ureteral replacement by tissue engineering might become necessary following tissue loss after excessive ureteral trauma, after retroperitoneal cancer, or even after failed reconstructive surgery. This need has driven innovation in the design of novel scaff ...

In-vivo performance of high-density collagen gel tubes for urethral regeneration in a rabbit model

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Peter Frey

Congenital malformations or injuries of the urethra can be treated using existing autologous tissue, but these procedures are sometimes associated with severe complications. Therefore, tissue engineering may be advantageous for generating urethral grafts. ...

Culture and Characterization of Human and Porcine Urothelial Progenitor Cells

Hans Mattias Larsson

An estimated 400 million people worldwide suffer from bladder diseases. However, little is known at the cellular level as to what causes or initiates many of these diseases. Therefore, this thesis has focused on understanding one cell type within the bladd ...

Hydrogels for Urinary Tract Tissue Engineering

Several urinary tract disorders, such as hypospadias or bladder cancer, require reconstructive surgery to preserve the patient's quality of life and at times even save their life. The current available surgical treatments, involving grafts from other tissu ...

High-density collagen gel tubes as a matrix for primary human bladder smooth muscle cells

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Peter Frey

Tissue-engineered grafts for the urinary tract are being investigated for the potential treatment of several urologic diseases. These grafts, predominantly tubular-shaped, usually require in vitro culture prior to implantation to allow cell engraftment on ...

Photodynamic diagnostics in the urinary tract. Consensus paper of the Working Group for Oncology of the German Society for Urology

Hubert van den Bergh

Because of the frequency of occurrence and the long protracted course, bladder carcinoma is the most expensive solid tumor in terms of costs, from diagnosis to death of the patient. The most important cost factor within the total cost is the treatment of r ...
