DOI: 10.21037/tau-20-1342

Abstract: Background Ureteral contractility is a poorly understood process. Contractions have been demonstrated to occur in the smooth muscle layers of the ureter. Previous work suggests the involvement of Gli family proteins and erythropoietin (EPO) in… read more here.

DOI: 10.4111/icu.20220254

Abstract: Purpose Urolithiasis is a common urinary tract disease with growing prevalence. Alpha1-adrenoceptors (α1-ARs) are abundant in ureteral smooth muscle, distributed with different α1-AR subtypes. α1D-AR is the most widely distributed in the ureter. However, the… read more here.
