We used silicone, a soft material, to fabricate a sensor\u00a0that interfaces with the nervous system and records signals from the bladder. This device can detect when the bladder is full and stimulate and void the bladder on demand of the user. The entire system can provide long term bladder management to patients with spinal cord injury.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">For more detailed information you can access the article from <a title=\"here\" href=\"http:\/\/stm.sciencemag.org\/content\/5\/210\/210ra155.abstract\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a> and read the news of this new study in <a title=\"BBC newspage\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/health-24834374\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BBC newspage. <\/a><\/p>\n<p><!--\/codes_iframe--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Researchers from the University of Reading,University of Cambridge, King&#8217;s College London, Ecole Polytechnique F\u00e9d\u00e9rale de Lausanne Switzerland, and University College London have published a new technique for restoring bladder control&#8230;<a class=\"read-more\" href=\"&#104;&#116;&#116;&#112;&#115;&#58;&#47;&#47;&#114;&#101;&#115;&#101;&#97;&#114;&#99;&#104;&#46;&#114;&#101;&#97;&#100;&#105;&#110;&#103;&#46;&#97;&#99;&#46;&#117;&#107;&#47;&#98;&#101;&#108;&#47;&#97;&#45;&#110;&#101;&#119;&#45;&#109;&#101;&#116;&#104;&#111;&#100;&#45;&#112;&#114;&#111;&#115;&#116;&#104;&#101;&#116;&#105;&#99;&#45;&#98;&#108;&#97;&#100;&#100;&#101;&#114;&#45;&#99;&#111;&#110;&#116;&#114;&#111;&#108;&#115;&#45;&#117;&#114;&#105;&#110;&#101;&#45;&#102;&#111;&#114;&#45;&#112;&#97;&#116;&#105;&#101;&#110;&#116;&#115;&#45;&#119;&#105;&#116;&#104;&#45;&#115;&#112;&#105;&#110;&#97;&#108;&#45;&#99;&#111;&#114;&#100;&#45;&#105;&#110;&#106;&#117;&#114;&#121;&#47;\">Read More ><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":311,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"__cvm_playback_settings":[],"__cvm_video_id":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"coauthors":[22],"class_list":["post-583","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-events"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>A new method: Prosthetic bladder &#039;controls urine&#039;
