Urinary reflexes have been thought to depend on mechanically sensitive ion channels. But the identities of these channels—and the identities of the cells these channels sensitize—have been unclear.

Some studies suggest women are more likely to feel bladder fullness at lower volumes —possibly due to hormonal influences, increased sensory input or the dynamic relationship between pelvic floor ...

A team co-led by scientists at Scripps Research has found that the main sensor protein enabling our sense of touch also underlies the feeling of having a full bladder and makes normal bladder function ...

A cystocele occurs when the supportive tissues around the bladder stretch and weaken, allowing the bladder and the vaginal wall to move out of place. They may bulge through the vaginal wall or vaginal ...

Scientists have found that the main sensor protein enabling our sense of touch also underlies the feeling of having a full bladder and makes normal bladder function possible. The discovery marks a key ...
