Adult stem cell technology holds hope for erectile dysfunction treatment.
After more than a decade of short-term cures to erectile
dysfunction, most aimed at symptoms rather than the underlying issues of
nerve
damage, a new approach has emerged from adult stem cell technology
developed by RNL Bio. Dr. Ji Youl Lee and the RNL Stem Cell Technology
Institute (RNL SCTI) team, working at St. Mary's Hospital in Seoul, found
in animal studies that adipose (fat) derived adult human stem
cells, grown in culture, were very effective in treating cavernous nerve
injury. When rats with cavernous nerve injury, the equivalent of erectile
dysfunction (ED) in humans, were treated with RNL Bio's patented adult
stem cells, they showed significant recovery of nerve system capacity
and long-term recovery. The RNL SCTI team has significant evidence now to
suggest that similar, long-term recovery is around the corner for men suffering
from recurrent ED and the underlying damage to the nerves in the male
reproductive system.

The study, "Therapeutic effect of adipose-derived stem cells and
BDNF-immobilized PLGA membrane in a rat model of cavernous nerve
injury," is published in the current issue of the Journal of Sexual Medicine (JSM),
among the top 10% most-cited journals in Urology,* and the Official
Journal of the International Society for Sexual Medicine. JSM, published
by Wiley, the world's largest medical journal publisher, is a
peer-reviewed journal whose mission is to publish the best new research
in biomedical approaches to pathologies of human sexuality. The study
was also released ahead of print as an ePub by the Editors. [PMID:
