Roles in Retinoid Signaling in the Lower Urinary Tract
… have focused on the role of RA-signaling in the urinary tract, where we find that it plays multiple roles. By inducing expression of a floxed dominant-negative mutant Rar receptor, termed RaraDN, in the bladder, we find that RA-receptor signaling from the bladder epithelium plays distinct roles …

Differences in Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms between Sympathetic Hyperactive and Hypoactive men
… to define sympathetic hyperactivity in men with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). I suspected that LUTS would differ between sympathetic hyperactive and hypoactive patients. Therefore, I measured HRV and divided the LUTS patients into two groups, a sympathetic hyperactive group and a …

Fibromyalgia and bladder irritability
Urinary tract sensory symptoms provide an additional symptomatic burden for women with fibromyalgia. The urogenital symptoms of both fibromyalgia and interstitial cystitis have been described as non-infective sensory disorders, suggesting the existence of substantial clinical overlap between the …

Neuroscience tools in novel contexts: developing thermogenetics in Drosophila and decoding autonomic activity in mouse major pelvic ganglion
… DyakGr, and DpseGr flies are activated at lower temperatures (33 - 35 degreesC). Additionally, we show that DyakGr and DpseGr flies have a greater effect on neuronal activity compared to Gr28bD. Interestingly, DmojGr is not temperature sensitive below 40 degreesC, suggesting a difference in …

Innate immunity in defence against infection and tissue repair of the urinary tract
Urinary tract infections (UTI) are common and affect half of women and 5% of men during their lifetime. Most infections are caused by uropathogenic *Escherichia coli* (UPEC) and are limited to the lower urinary tract (cystitis), but ascending infection (pyelonephritis) can lead to fibrosis and the …
