Abstract
The isolation of smooth muscle cells from bladder tissue is a valuable technique used in cell biology research and tissue engineering. Smooth muscle cells can be used for analysis in many areas including, but not limited to, cell function and genotype experimentation. Smooth muscle cells can also be used in tissue engineering applications for research and/or regenerative medicine. Replacement tissue or tissue for augmentation can be created to stem or remediate problems in the urologic system.
