Origin of Serum Affects Quality of Engineered Tissues Produced by the Self-Assembly Approach

Figure 1

Experimental schemas of bladder mucosa substitute production by the self-assembly approach. The self-assembly technique to produce tissues could be divided into two phases. The first is the production of stroma (32 days, upper part of schema). The second is the proliferation (horizontal expansion) and differentiation (vertical expansion) of the uroepithelium (28 days, lower part of the schema).
