Symptoms including pain and discomfort commonly present during ureteral stenting is not well understood. We investigated global changes in ureters at the transcriptional, translational, and functional levels while stents are indwelling and following removal and recovery using a porcine model. Polar...
The long term objective is to create an encyclopedia of the expression levels of all genes in multiple components of the developing urogenital system. The central thesis is straightforward. The combination of microdissected and laser capture microdissection (LCM) plus microarray analysis offers a p...
The mammalian ureter is a tube connecting the kidney with the urinary bladder. The differentiated urothelial tube is surrounded by smooth muscle cells (SMCs). In mice embryos by E15, the first SM cells have formed and, over the next few prenatal days, the ureter becomes a functional unit, transmitti...
mRNA profiling of mouse ureters comparing wild-type ureter vs. ureters from mice having whole body deletion of miR-143 and miR-145 which results in abnormal ureter peristalsis and hydronephrosis We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression in wild-type and miR-143/145-deficien...
