Once this has healed, people at the moment can get surgery for erectile implants - and I would say this new technique could replace those erectile implants. It couldn't replace the surgery altogether, but it might make it "work" more naturally afterwards. I hear the clitoris has erectile tissue in it (so does the nose!), so those cells might work as the initial cell culture. 'Tis a good question Lab Rat!

I just haven't done much blogging outside of work yet, and I dont think I could get away with listening to viagra info. in the dry lab XD) One question...does this treatment require the need for an already present penis? Because if not it would be *very* helpful for transgender surgery. (I will take a look and comment on your video I promise!
