Area of Science:

  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Biomaterials Science
  • Urology

Context:

  • Developing functional urothelial structures is crucial for urinary tract reconstruction.
  • Current methods face challenges in achieving complete and functional tissue regeneration.
  • Tissue engineering offers a promising approach to overcome these limitations.

Purpose:

  • To develop and evaluate a tissue engineering method for reconstructing urothelial structures.
  • To assess the in vitro and in vivo behavior of cultured urothelial cells on a small intestinal submucosa (SIS) scaffold.

Summary:

  • Puppy dog bladder transitional epithelia were isolated, cultured, and seeded onto an SIS scaffold.
  • The urothelial-SIS constructs were then transplanted into nude rats and evaluated histologically and immunohistochemically at various time points.
