Quantifying Smooth Muscles Regional Organization in the Rat Bladder Using Immunohistochemistry, Multiphoton Microscopy and Machine Learning
Alireza Asadbeygi, Yasutaka Tobe, Naoki Yoshimura +4
The smooth muscle bundles (SMBs) in the bladder act as contractile elements which enable the bladder to void effectively. In contrast to skeletal muscles, these bundles are not hig…
