New Study into Bladder Regeneration Heralds Organ Replacement Treatment, Northwestern University Reveals
EurekAlert! -- Durham, NC (November 2010) - Researchers in the United States have developed a medical model for regenerating bladders using stem cells harvested from a patient's own bone marrow. The research, published in Stem Cells, is especially relevant for paediatric patients suffering from abnormally developed bladders, but also represents another step towards new organ replacement therapies.
