Urothelial cells

Urothelial cells, also known as transitional cells, line the urinary tract, which includes the bladder, ureters, urethra, and part of the kidney. These cells form a specialized barrier called the urothelium that prevents urine from penetrating the underlying tissues. They can also expand and contract based on the volume of urine present, which reflects their …
