First human clinical trials on bioengineered cavernosa

[indeed]

Hey guys,

I found this study : https://www.medifind.com/articles/clini ... al/4524071 , https://ctv.veeva.com/study/bioengineer ... le-corpora

It's the first study i came across where they are implanting bioengineered corpora in humans.

Set to start in Jan. 2025 and ends in Oct. 2025.

I find this very exciting and thought it might be of interest to some of you

Cheers

It looks fascinating, but am I understanding correctly that they will need cadavers to construct each new penis?

yes, there is a need of cadavers for each corpora cavernosa/albuginea.
It wii take ages until a pilot study becomes reality , but still a new promising begoning, however this has only a chance if the artificial implants were bad, but currently I see the implants on the market work very well and will get even better, like with new pump technologies and material that is used.

I think the difficulty of having a cadaver available for each penis would make it challenging to use this for standard erectile dysfunction.

I think this research is probably being used to look for potential treatments for people who have had injuries or disfigurements.

I don't see a biological alternative to implants on the horizon for some time ahead

And thanks for the video. I think it is useful. I will make one or two also after my implant, because it is helpful to men like myself looking to get the operation

[dan_bionic]

you are right with the cadaver it only makes sense for those who are having issues where artificial implants can't be used.

Yes, a video makes it easier to decide if one can see the results and how the implant is functioning.

I'm curious which problems this would fix.

In my case, I don't think the problem was related to the cavernosa itself, but to the "blood plumbing." My hunch is that this wouldn't have been a solution for me. But I'm just guessing based on the limited information in the study request.
