Human Bladder Smooth Muscle Cells (HBdSMC)

HBdSMC are isolated from the detrusor muscle from the urinary bladder of single donors and stain positive for smooth muscle α-actin. The thick bladder wall contains smooth muscle cells arranged in muscle bundles, which empty the bladder by coordinated contraction. HBdSMC can be used for in vitro studies of physiological processes as well as the effect of drugs on the bladder.
