Urethra and Related Diseases

The urethra is the canal that extends from the bladder to the exterior of the body. In males, the urethra is long and serves both urinary and ejaculatory functions. In contrast, the female urethra is shorter and wider, primarily responsible for urination and mucous secretion. Changes in the urethra are often mild and easily treatable, which can lead to insufficient attention. However, worsening urological symptoms can also result in life-threatening conditions such as severe kidney dysfunction.

Traditional Models for Urethra Contraction Research

Several rodent models have been developed to simulate human urological diseases. These widely accepted animal models can mimic most clinical symptoms and key urological physiological manifestations in humans. However, there are significant variations in the size and structure of the urethra among different species, voiding patterns, contractile characteristics, and regulatory mechanisms also differ across species.

Why Choose 3D Ex Vivo Human Urethra Contraction Model

With the increasing understanding of the urinary system in recent years and the growing demand for reliable research models, Creative Biolabs now offer human ex vivo urethral tissue models that provide higher physiological relevance to support your experimental needs. These models can be used to assess the effects of your test substances on human urethral contraction or relaxation.

Excellent physiological relevance:

  • The human-derived urethral muscle strips exhibit the most authentic structure of the contraction system, including dynamics specific to receptors for neurotransmitters/modulators released from nerves or locally produced.

Standardized handling procedures:

  • Each muscle strip will undergo standardized processing after excluding necrotic samples and verifying their functionality to minimize signal variability prior to drug interventions.

Comprehensive testing protocols:

  • We provide validation of urethral muscle strip contractions using agonists/antagonists targeting adrenergic receptors. To assess the involvement of specific receptor subtypes in any observed response, we can test the concentration of test substances eliciting maximal response in the presence of specific antagonists.

Supplemental options:

  • Customizable benchmark compounds, test concentrations, validation procedures, endpoint assays, or data analysis according to your specific requirements.
