The engineering of bladder tissue involves obtaining a biopsy from a host, expanding the cells, seeding them onto a matrix and implanting the cell-matrix composite back into the host. Clinically, cells used for these techniques may be harvested from abnormal bladders. It is not known whether abnormal bladder cells may be engineered into functionally normal tissue. We investigated the phenotypic and functional characteristics of tissue engineered bladder smooth muscle derived from patients with functionally normal bladders and functionally abnormal exstrophic and neuropathic bladders.
