Experimental long-term diabetes mellitus alters the transcriptome and biomechanical properties of the rat urinary bladder

Abstract Diabetes mellitus (DM) is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease and diabetic nephropathy is widely studied. In contrast, the pathobiology of diabetic urinary bladder disease is less understood despite dysfunctional voiding being common in DM. We hypothesised that diabetic cystopathy h...
