This $337,284 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847) will support the development of a novel "Precision-Cut Bladder Slice" (PCBS) technology at Boston Children's Hospital. The goal is to enable quantitative assessment of bladder smooth muscle contraction, relaxation, and stiffness in both healthy murine and human tissues, while preserving the native cellular microenvironment. This new platform is expected to facilitate mechanistic studies and validation of new therapeutic interventions for bladder dysfunction. The project will run from September 2023 through August 2025.
