The application of stem cells in bladder repair of tissue engineering / 国际外科学杂志

ABSTRACT

In recent years,using stem cells to repair the bladder defect is a hot issue on the studies of bladder tissue engineering.They are ideal seed cells for bladder regeneration of tissue engineering depending on their self-renewal and multi-differentiation potential.In this paper,we give a review on the use of embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells as seed cells to repair the bladder defect by tissue engineering approach.
