VEGF signaling mediates bladder neuroplasticity and inflammation in response to BCG

BACKGROUND: This work tests the hypothesis that increased levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) observed during bladder inflammation modulates nerve plasticity. METHODS: Chronic inflammation was induced by intravesical instillations of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) into the urinary bl...
