A bioengineered human urothelial organoid model reveals the urine-urothelium interplay in tissue resilience and UPEC recurrence in urinary tract infections

Gauri Paduthol, Mikhail Nikolaev, Kunal Sharma…·John D. McKinney

The paper develops a human urothelial organoid model to study urine-urothelium interactions in UTI resilience and UPEC recurrence, finding that high-solute urine weakens tissue and promotes CWD UPEC formation.
