Bioreactors are used in neo-organ production to allow for an appropriate environment for the maintenance of healthy culturing conditions from pre-wetting to shipment of the neo-organ. The closed system “all-in-one bioreactor” is designed to allow for minimal exposure of the scaffold to the open air in order to maintain sterility. The design allows for the same container to be utilized for sterilization, pre-wetting, cell seeding, medium exchange, and shipment. The “all-in-one” bioreactor also remains completely closed after the urothelial cell seeding step to the implantation at the clinical site. This allows for sufficient time for release testing to occur so the neo-organ can be implanted into the patient.

The pms1 gene has only one transcript PMS1T, which is a non-coding long-chain RNA. There are insertion/deletion variation as long as 65 bp and two mononucleotide mutations between different alleles of the gene, wherein the sequence of a dominant allele of the pms1 is represented as the SEQ ID No.4 and the sequence of a recessive allele is represented as the SEQ ID No.3.
