Spheroids of Bladder Smooth Muscle Cells for Bladder Tissue Engineering

Quantitative real-time PCR. SMC-specific contractile gene induction for calponin, smoothelin, and MyH11 is increased in early spheroids, particularly on day 4 of spheroid culture. Interestingly, comparison shows a stark contrast, with almost no changes in 2D SMC gene induction over time.
