Intro

I work with stem cells in the lab, so I want to share the information on that topic at that blog. There are lots of interesting articles and study materials about stem cells on the web that's why I'm trying to gather them all here.

The reconstruction of rat penis with stem cells!

Wow. Scientists are able to reconstruct almost every organ in our body. The latest news:
Men in need of penis reconstruction could soon enjoy the benefits of a special ingredient: stem cells. A new study in rats shows that lacing a penis graft with adult stem cells yields better healing and sexual function than using the graft alone. The finding may point the way to improved treatments for a variety of human penile impairments.
Men with penis injuries, deformities, or severe Peyronie's disease—which causes excessive scarring that can curve or shrink the penis—sometimes need surgery to reconstruct their genitalia and restore their sexual function. Many receive a graft made of their own tissue, cadaver tissue, or pig intestines, but the surgery can cause complications, including erectile dysfunction.
