To improve the models available to researchers and to answer their own questions about UTI infections, the team developed two in vitro models: a bladder organoid to accurately represent the tissue ...

Since GAG composition can be quite different in mice than in humans, researchers will also determine GAG composition in a three-dimensional bladder organoid model that is derived from human bladder ...

This allows researchers to model organ-specific diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease using gastrointestinal organoids, cystic fibrosis using lung organoids, and bladder cancer using ... the ...
