Regenerative medicine in andrology: Tissue engineering and gene therapy as potential treatment options for penile deformations and erectile dysfunction

European Urology
Dirk Schultheiss

Abstract

Tissue engineering and gene therapy are currently investigated in animal studies for reconstructing penile tissue or treating erectile dysfunction. This review aims to examine 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.
