Abstract
We demonstrate that the sensory protein transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) can be targeted to improve bladder function in animals that have iatrogenic injury to the nerves innervating the bladder. Further research is required to determine whether these results can be translated to patients with an underactive bladder.
