Interrogating erectile dysfunction and evaluating novel therapeutic frontiers, with emphasis on stem cell strategies.
Male infertility arises from a complex interplay of factors affecting reproductive organs and various physiological pathways. Among these, erectile dysfunction (ED), a widespread global issue, plays a key role. While existing ED treatments address some aspects, achieving complete reversibility and avoiding side effects remains a challenge. In this context, stem cell therapy emerges as a promising, potentially transformative approach. Preliminary evidence from preclinical animal models and clinical trials highlights stem cell therapy's remarkable efficacy and effectiveness for ED. This novel strategy offers several advantages, including enhanced effectiveness and a reported absence of adverse side effects. This review delves into the causes of male infertility, with a particular focus on ED and its pathophysiology. We explore the current treatment landscape, highlighting therapy's existing strategies' limitations and stem cell therapy's unique potential. By examining relevant preclinical and clinical studies, we provide a comprehensive picture of this innovative approach and its promising future in restoring men's fertility and quality of life.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics publishes cellular, molecular, genetic, and epigenetic discoveries advancing our understanding of the biology and underlying mechanisms from gametogenesis to offspring health. Special emphasis is placed on the practice and evolution of assisted reproduction technologies (ARTs) with reference to the diagnosis and management of diseases affecting fertility. Our goal is to educate our readership in the translation of basic and clinical discoveries made from human or relevant animal models to the safe and efficacious practice of human ARTs. The scientific rigor and ethical standards embraced by the JARG editorial team ensures a broad international base of expertise guiding the marriage of contemporary clinical research paradigms with basic science discovery. JARG publishes original papers, minireviews, case reports, and opinion pieces often combined into special topic issues that will educate clinicians and scientists with interests in the mechanisms of human development that bear on the treatment of infertility and emerging innovations in human ARTs. The guiding principles of male and female reproductive health impacting pre- and post-conceptional viability and developmental potential are emphasized within the purview of human reproductive health in current and future generations of our species.
The journal is published in cooperation with the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, an organization of more than 8,000 physicians, researchers, nurses, technicians and other professionals dedicated to advancing knowledge and expertise in reproductive biology.
