Abstract

In vivo integration of smooth muscle progenitor cells (pSMCs) derived from human pluripotent stem cells was examined. pSMCs were derived from a human embryonic stem cell line and two induced pluripotent stem cell lines. The data suggest that hPSC-derived pSMCs facilitate restoration of urethral sphincter function by direct smooth muscle cell regeneration and by inducing native tissue elastin/collagen III remodeling.
