A newly developed soft, flexible, battery-free implant attaches to the bladder wall and senses the organ filling with urine, according to researchers at Northwestern University in Chicago.

Mirabegron works by relaxing the detrusor smooth muscle during the storage phase of the urinary bladder fill-void cycle by activation of beta-3 adrenergic receptors, which increases bladder capacity.

The ability to decode bladder pressure from spinal cord activity provides proof-of-concept for developing personalized spinal cord interfaces that could warn patients about their bladder state ...

Myrbetriq relaxes the detrusor smooth muscle during the storage phase of the urinary bladder fill-void cycle by activation of beta-3 adrenergic receptors which increases bladder capacity.

These findings demonstrate that TRPM8 receptors, either in the bladder or on afferent C-fibres, are activated by increases in pressure that occur during bladder filling, and that activation of ...
