Recruitment of Bone Marrow Derived Cells to the Bladder After Bladder Outlet Obstruction

Bone marrow derived cells are recruited to the bladder by bladder outlet obstruction and are present in the urothelial and stromal layers. Stromal bone marrow derived cells may have a role in hypertrophy and fibrosis. Further study of the recruitment and function of bone marrow derived cells in the bladder may provide potential targets for antifibrotic therapy.
