Synthetic ‘bladder patch’ promotes tissue regeneration, restores function
A research team led by SQI member Arun Sharma has developed a synthetic, flexible “bladder patch” that outperformed the current standard surgery for severe bladder dysfunction in a long-term, large-animal model — the last step before beginning clinical trials. The “patch” is an elastic-like scaffold that is seeded with a patient’s own stem cells and then sutured to the bladder, where it helps to restore function and promote regeneration in the existing tissue.
