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 …

Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) plays an important role in wound repair and tissue
regeneration. Considerable research has been focused on the exploration of bFGF delivery …

PURPOSE: Studies show that basic fibroblast growth factor can promote bladder
regeneration. However, the lack of targeting delivery approaches limits its clinical …

With advances in tissue engineering, various synthetic and natural biomaterials have been
widely used in tissue regeneration of the urinary bladder in rat models. However …

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

Introduction: Tissue engineering may become an alternative to current bladder
augmentation techniques. Large scaffolds are needed for clinically significant augmentation …

Over the last few decades, both synthetic and natural materials have been utilized to
develop bladder substitutes. Most attempts have not been successful because of …

Tissue engineering may become an alternative to current bladder augmentation techniques.
Large scaffolds are needed for clinically significant augmentation, but can result in fibrosis …

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 …

Current strategies in urinary bladder augmentation include use of gastrointestinal segments,
however, the technique is associated with inevitable complications. An acellular biologic …
