 Abstract 

January, 2026

Our laboratory publishes our first paper in The Journal of Physiology. Interestingly, this was a project on urinary bladder smooth muscle. Adenosine and acute low oxygen conditions suppress urinary bladder contractility through the activation of adenosine 2B receptors and large-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels
