Lab-grown micro-bladder model reveals mechanisms behind recurrent UTIs
Source Summary
Researchers at UCL, the University of Oxford, and the University of Leicester have developed a lab-grown micro-bladder model to study why urinary tract infections recur frequently. The model may provide insights into preventing recurrent UTIs.
Why it matters
Understanding the mechanisms of recurrent UTIs through this model could lead to new prevention and treatment strategies for a common infection affecting millions of people.
