Background Techniques to treat urethral stricture and hypospadias are restricted, as
substitution of the unhealthy urethra with tissue from other origins (skin, bladder or buccal …

Urine represents an unlimited source of patient‐specific kidney cells that can be harvested
noninvasively. Urine derived podocytes and proximal tubule cells have been used to study …

Human urine-derived stem cells (USCs) have great application potential for cytotherapy as
they can be obtained by non-invasive and simple methods. Silicate bioceramics, including …

Bone tissue engineering requires highly proliferative stem cells that are easy to isolate.
Human urine stem cells (USCs) are abundant and can be easily harvested without using an …

Extensive urethral defects have a serious impact on quality of life, and treatment is
challenging. A shortage of material for reconstruction is a key limitation. Improving the …

Introduction Urine-derived stem cells (USCs) have the ability to differentiate into osteogenic
lineage. Previous studies have raised the possibility that USCs could be used for bone …

Small intestinal submucosa (SIS) is a biodegradable collagen‐rich matrix containing
functional growth factors. We have previously reported encouraging outcomes for …

In recent years, urine has emerged as a source of urine cells. Two different types of cells can
be isolated from urine: urine derived stem cells (USCs) and renal tubular cells called urine …

1 Abstract Today, 1-2.5% of all genitourinary tract trauma affect the ureters, leading to severe
impairments of the urine's drainage. Till now, classical reconstructive surgery has the …
