The goal of current study was to make sheet form of ECM from sheep’s urinary bladder. Methods: ECM was extracted from Sheep’s urinary bladder according to standard method. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was applied in order to analyze the ultrastructure of the extracted matrix. Results: Matrix was formed by irregular and fiber like particles. Conclusion: Sheep’s urinary bladder matrix may be used as an accessible and suitable source of ECM extraction.   UR - https://ijp.iranpath.org/article_7704.html L1 - https://ijp.iranpath.org/article_7704_0fdd98d2e01598e7aa17a388db1d94e5.pdf ER -
