Osr1 Is Required for Mesenchymal Derivatives That Produce Collagen in the Bladder

The extracellular matrix of the bladder consists mostly of type I and III collagen, which are required during loading. During bladder injury, there is an accumulation of collagen that impairs bladder function. Little is known about the genes that regulate production of collagens in the bladder. We d...
