Abstract: A functional canine bladder has been reconstructed from cells obtained by biopsy of the bladder wall. Cells from each side of the bladder wall were separately grown in culture, then seeded onto two sides of a bladder-shaped degradable polymer; the constructs were successfully implanted into dogs and continued to work like a real bladder for a year.
