Abstract
The present invention describes methods for producing artificial fascial slings and their subsequent use in treating subjects with urinary incontinence. The invention is based, in part, on the discovery that mesenchymal cells that secrete elastin and collagen, extracellular proteins responsible for elasticity and strength, respectively, can be used to engineer artificial fascia in vitro.
