Abstract

SCHULTHEISS, D.  and  JONAS, U.. Regenerative medicine in andrology: tissue engineering and gene therapy as potential treatment options for penile deformations and erectile dysfunction. Actas Urol Esp [online]. 2006, vol.30, n.8, pp.801-811. ISSN 0210-4806.

Tissue engineering and gene therapy are currently investigated in animal studies for reconstructing penile tissue or treating erectile dysfunction. This review aims to ecamine these experimental efforts from the last years and tries to give a brief introduction to the basic methodology of these new techniques from the field of regenerative medicine.

Keywords : Andrology; Penile deformation; Erectile dysfunction; Tissue engineering; Gene therapy.
