Bladder Cells
The bladder is a dynamic urinary organ composed of epithelial, stromal, smooth muscle, and vascular cell populations that work together to maintain urinary storage and barrier function. Bladder-derived cell models are widely used in studies of urothelial biology, inflammation, fibrosis, tissue remodeling, and urinary tract diseases.
Our bladder cell collection includes primary bladder epithelial cells, stromal fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells, and microvascular endothelial cells. These physiologically relevant models support research in bladder regeneration, urothelial barrier function, drug toxicity, tissue engineering, and lower urinary tract disorders.
