In spite of long term clinical use of decellularized bladder submucosa matrix (BSM), little is
known about the active factors within this material. In this paper, we analyzed the biological …

Background: Several synthetic and natural matrices have been described for tissue
engineering of bladder but there is little information on the effects of processing on their …

When gastrointestinal tissue is used for bladder augmentation or replacement, multiple
complications may ensue, such as infection, metabolic disturbances, urolithiasis, perforation …

Replacement of urinary bladder tissue with functional equivalents remains one of the most
challenging problems of reconstructive urology over the last several decades. The gold …

Purpose: We investigate the use of bladder acellular matrix (BAM) as a carrier of exogenous
growth factor. Materials and Methods: Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) protein was …

There are many conditions that can affect the normal structure of the urinary bladder wall
and lead to the inadequate evacuation of urine or even disable urine excretion. In these …

Bladder reconstruction remains challenging for urological surgery due to lack of suitable
regenerative scaffolds. In a previous study, we had used a collagen-binding basic fibroblast …

Bladder replacement or augmentation is required in congenital malformations or following
trauma or cancer. The current surgical solution involves enterocystoplasty but is associated …

Tissue-engineering techniques have brought a great hope for bladder repair and
reconstruction. The crucial requirements of a tissue-engineered bladder are bladder smooth …

PURPOSE: The use of bowel for bladder augmentation is associated with many
complications. We have reported that acellular dermal biomatrix can be used successfully …
