urinary tract culture of the urothelium

summary

The morphology and properties of human urothelium in situ
as well as the methods of its culture in vitro are briefly outlined. Normal
human urothelium can be expanded in vitro cultures. Such cultures can be
grown in vitro on biodegradable polymer system and than be used for
replacement of urethars, ureters and bladders.
