Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a common disorder with high prevalence in women across their life span, but there are no non-surgical curative options for the condition. Stem cell-based therapy, especially endogenous stem cell therapy may be a potential treatment method for SUI. The aims of this study are to identify, isolate, and assay the function of urethral striated muscle derived stem/progenitor cells (uMDSCs) and to assess uMDSC response to microenergy acoustic pulses (MAP).
