The Current Use of Stem Cells in Bladder Tissue Regeneration and Bioengineering. [PDF]
Many pathological processes including neurogenic bladder and malignancy necessitate bladder reconstruction, which is currently performed using intestinal tissue. The use of intestinal tissue, however, subjects patients to metabolic abnormalities, bladder
