ATP induced intracellular calcium response and purinergic signalling in cultured suburothelial myofibroblasts of the human bladder

Suburothelial myofibroblasts (sMF) are located underneath the urothelium in close proximity to afferent nerves and show spontaneous calcium activity in vivo and in vitro. They express purinergic receptors and calcium transients can be evoked by ATP. Therefore they are supposed to be involved in affe...
