Gene Therapy May Treat Erectile Dysfunction

A new study at Einstein College of Medicine in New York City reports that gene therapy may be a way to treat erectile dysfunction in men who do not respond to pills such as Viagra.

According to experts, gene transfer technology has the potential for long-term improvement for erectile function. Two studies presented last Tuesday at the American Urological Association’s annual meeting, in Orlando, Florida, claimed that Maxi-K gene therapy is a gene transfer that improves erectile dysfunction.
