Human adipose stem cells were cultured in smooth muscle inductive media and seeded into
synthetic bladder composites to tissue engineer bladder smooth muscle. 85: 15 Poly-lactic …

Purpose: The engineering of bladder tissue involves obtaining a biopsy from a host,
expanding the cells, seeding them onto a matrix and implanting the cell-matrix composite …

Urinary pathology requiring urinary diversion, partial or full bladder replacement, is a
significant clinical problem affecting∼ 14,000 individuals annually in the United States …

Cell-seeded scaffolds are a common route of cell transplantation for bladder repair and
reconstruction. However, when cell suspensions are harvested, proteolytic enzymes often …

The objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of bladder acellular matrix grafts
(BAMGs) seeded with adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) followed by intraperitoneal …

Background The tissue engineering of urinary bladder advances rapidly reflecting clinical
need for a new kind of therapeutic solution for patients requiring urinary bladder …

Purpose: End stage bladder disease can seriously affect patient quality of life and often
requires surgical reconstruction with bowel tissue, which is associated with numerous …

Bladder wall replacement remains a challenging problem for urological surgery due to
leakage, infection, stone formation, and extensive time needed for tissue regeneration. To …

Bladder regeneration studies have yielded inconclusive results possibly due to the use of
unfavorable cells and primitive scaffold design. We hypothesized that human mesenchymal …

There are a number of conditions of the bladder that can lead to loss of function. Many of
these require reconstructive procedures. However, current techniques may lead to a number …
