Evaluation of Viability and Proliferative Activity of Human Urothelial Cells Cultured Onto Xenogenic Tissue-Engineered Extracellular Matrices

This is the first comparative report of UBM and SIS. Our results have demonstrated that UBM has significantly greater regenerative potential for HUCs compared with SIS. However, the perceived potential for extracellular matrixes in reconstructive urology might be limited by their inability to induce urothelial regeneration in a urine environment.
