Stem cell therapy is a fascinating field of medicine with enormous amounts of research devoted to its advancement. We have pulled together a group of relevant scientific publications for those who are interested in a deeper review. Below is a list stem cell research articles to help you gain additional insight into the ongoing studies. Research conclusions bring clarity into persisting stem cell myths.

Adipose-Derived Adult Stem Cells and New Technique for Intracavernosal Injection for Erectile Dysfunction: Novel Approach to Treat Diabetes Mellitus. Erectus Shot Technique

PUBLISHED in Integrative Molecular Medicine Medicine, 2016, Vol 3(2)   AUTHOR Carlos Mercado, MD

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) affects 10 percent of the population worldwide. In 1995 it was estimated that 152 million men were affected by ED. It is estimated that by 2025 352 million of population worldwide will be affected. Currently there is not available treatment that can restore or regenerate the tissues in the corpus cavernosum or arterial system tthat will cure ED a 20 percent failure rate with present therapies and high rate of drop out in patients with ED due to radical prostatectomy and post radiation. Testosterone eplacement is the only independent risk factor that might help endothelial dysfunction and consequently ED. Adipose tissue is abundant and easy to collect from a miniliposuction. The procedure consists in collecting a lipoaspirate of 60 ml. No general Anesthesia is required. It is an outpatient procedure. Adipose tissue is processed using a non animal collagenase enzyme. Stromal vascular fraction (SVF) is isolated. Blood is obtained through a venipuncture. Platelet rich-plasma (PRP) is obtained. The SVF is suspended in PRP. The mixture is injected into the corpus cavernosum using our designed protocol for injection.

Four types of patients: DM, ED due to prostatectomy and radiation, Peyronie’s disease, and ED organic cause/aging/vascular. Patients filled out the intensity score questionnaire before and after procedure. Both reported better erections in the morning, firmer, and better response to PDI5 inhibitors for which they were not responders prior to the treatment. This might be due to stem cells induced regeneration of the cavernous nerve and endothelial cells enhancing the nitric oxide production hence improved response to PDI-5 inhibitors.
