Porcine bladder urothelial, myofibroblast and detrusor muscle cells: characterisation and ATP release

Porcine bladder urothelial, myofibroblast and detrusor muscle cells: characterisation and ATP release

ATP is released from the bladder mucosa in response to stretch, but the cell types responsible are unclear. Our aim was to isolate and characterise individual populations of urothelial, myofibroblast and detrusor muscle cells in culture, and to examine agonist-stimulated ATP release. Using female pi...
