Collagen Scaffolds Loaded With HUCMSCs for the Improvement of Erectile Function in Men With Diabetes

April 7, 2016 updated by: Leilei Zhu

Collagen Scaffolds Loaded With Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells for the Improvement of Erectile Function in Men With Diabetes

The intent of this clinical study is to answer the questions: 1) is the proposed treatment feasible; 2) is treatment effective in improving the disease pathology of patients with diagnosed diabetic erectile dysfunction.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Intracavernous transplantation of stem cells has been shown to improve erectile function in some preclinical studies. However, inadequate cell homing to damaged sites limited its functions. The investigators explore the effect of HUCMSC on improving erectile function of diabetic men, and whether collagen scaffolds contribute to long-term cell retention in the corpus cavernous and improves erectile function of diabetic men.
