A step toward a cell-free solution for stress urinary incontinence
Skeletal muscle regenerated and symptoms of stress urinary incontinence improved in preclinical models after use of a cell-free product discovered at Mayo Clinic. In one of the first studies of its kind, Mayo Clinic researchers learned this noncellular approach can restore muscle function and bladder control in preclinical models. The teams of Atta Behfar, M.D., […]
