Annotation rationales
Suburothelial fibroblasts lie directly beneath urinary-tract epithelium and combine structural matrix with epithelial-support signaling.
Functional implications
They maintain the urothelial niche, relay stretch and inflammatory cues and participate in bladder and urinary-tract repair.
