Science Alert published an article today about a paper published on Tuesday describing experiments conducted with 3D-printed penis implants.
The penis implant, which mimics the corpus cavernosum, the spongy tissue of the penile shaft, was created using a hydrogel-based scaffolding that is strong enough to withstand internal pressure when filled with blood and was seeded with pig or rabbit endothelial cells to enhance its functionality.
The study found that pigs with damage to their penile tissue that received the implant with endothelial cells not only achieved erections but also showed a significant increase in their rates of successfully producing offspring, rising from 25 per cent to 100 per cent.
The researchers tested the implant on dozens of animals with erectile defects, including Bama pigs and New Zealand rabbits, and found that those that received the implant with endothelial cells showed better erectile function overall, with outcomes approaching that of an animal without erectile dysfunction.
The study’s findings indicate that the implants markedly improved functional recovery and the combination with endothelial cells further enhanced this effect, demonstrating notable improvements in tissue regeneration and functional recovery and suggesting the restoration of the cavernous tissue in the treated males.
The new penis model may prove useful in the future treatment of human erectile dysfunction and diseases that scar the deeper tissues of the penis, causing painful erections, and could also help inform the development of other artificial, vessel-rich organs, like the heart.
The study, which was published in Nature Biomedical Engineering on 4 March, underscores the potential clinical applications of biomimetic corpus cavernosum for the treatment of penile injuries and advances the clinical application of 3D-printed artificial tissue organs, and could help overcome current obstacles in repairing large-scale penile injuries.
