Abstract
A method for providing a urinary tract tissue graft composition includes providing a segment of small intestinal submucosa and isolating and culturing at least one multipotent cell type from a tissue specimen of a subject. The at least one multipotent cell type is then seeded upon a surface of the segment of small intestinal submucosa and allowed to differentiate into a unipotent cell type, thereby forming a urinary tract tissue graft. Methods for repairing a damaged urinary tract tissue of a subject are also disclosed.
