Purpose Bladder reconstruction performed by enterocystoplasty or with bioengineered
substitutes is still associated with complications, which led us to develop an autologous …

Whenever there is a lack of native urologic tissue, reconstruction usually is performed with
native nonurologic tissues, such as gastrointestinal segments, skin, or mucosa from multiple …

Substantial clinical need persists for improved autologous tissues to augment or replace the
urinary bladder, and research has begun to address this using tissue engineering …

Many pathological processes including neurogenic bladder and malignancy necessitate
bladder reconstruction, which is currently performed using intestinal tissue. The use of …

Congenital abnormalities and acquired disorders can lead to organ damage or loss within
the urinary tract. For reconstructive purposes, tissue engineering efforts are currently …

The development of therapeutic treatments to regenerate urothelium, manufacture tissue
equivalents or neourethras for in-vivo application is a significant challenge in the field of …

Background To compare the effects of various recombinant growth factors on bladder
regeneration and angiogenesis for tissue engineering of bladder in patients with neurogenic …

Engineered bladder tissues, created with autologous bladder cells seeded on
biodegradable scaffolds, are being developed for use in patients who need cystoplasty …

Acquired and congenital abnormalities may lead to genitourinary organ damage or loss,
requiring eventual reconstruction. Tissue engineering follows the principles of cell …

Urinary diversion after radical cystectomy in patients with bladder cancer normally takes the
form of an ileal conduit or neobladder. However, such diversions are associated with a …
