Meeting Objectives
The intent of this conference is to provide a state-of-the-science overview on the effects of diabetes on cellular systems relevant to urologic complications: smooth muscle, autonomic nervous system, endothelium, and vasculature, and to discuss how this knowledge can be leveraged for urologic research.Speakers and participants will discuss how best to integrate the basic science expertise and knowledge with clinical urology expertise to identify basic research priorities.
