Full bladder wakes 2 in 3 women at night
Getting up at night to use the bathroom is often thought of as a problem mainly for older men. Not so—two in three women over age 40 wake up at least once each night because of a full bladder. And nearly half of them make two or more nighttime trips to the bathroom.
That’s the upshot from a survey of more than 2,000 northern California women ages 40 years and older. They were asked questions related to possible reasons for nocturia, the medical term for getting up to urinate twice or more per night.

Transplanted stem cells help prevent bladder fibrosis after spinal cord injury
(Cell Transplantation Center of Excellence for Aging and Brain Repair) Spinal cord injury can cause severe lower urinary tract dysfunction and conditions such as overactive bladder, urinary retention and increased bladder thickness and fibrosis. Transplantation of a stable, immortalized multipotent human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell line (B10 hMSC) directly into the bladder wall of mice modeling SCI helped inhibit the development of bladder fibrosis and improved bladder function by promoting the growth of smooth muscle cells in the bladder.

Treatment for overactive bladder and irritable bowel syndrome advanced through pioneering research
Researchers have discovered how the receptors responsible for contractions in the bladder regulate the body's clock genes. The new study has found that this clock activity in turn regulates the cycle of all cells in the body. The team of researchers also discovered that the local biological clock and its control are weakened in aging bladders, demonstrating the importance of the clock in bladder physiology and aging.
