title: Cellular and molecular biology in urogynaecology.
abstract: Recent research in urogynaecology includes major advances in our understanding of the structure and function of the urothelium and bladder wall. The control of the detrusor muscle and the bladder neck has been studied at a molecular level, and the response of host tissues to new treatments such as collagen implantation has also been investigated.
