Tissue Engineering of Urinary Bladder and Urethra: Advances from Bench to Patients
Figure 3
Production of cell-seeded tubular urethral graft using self-assembly technique. (a) After the production of a matrix sheet by fibroblasts, it is rolled to form a tube and urothelial cells are seeded in the lumen. (b) Bioreactor for tubular cell-seeded grafts to stimulate differentiation and formation of watertight mucosal layer.
