Proven Science – Animal Research
- Intense academic interest – Because the technology works
- 20 Published papers in 2012-2013. 500% Increase over the prior 8 years (Lin C-S et al. Advances in Andrology 2014)
- All 35 studies reported improved erectile function
- Many reported improved muscle, endothelium and nerve tissue
Proof of Principle
(Song YS et al. International Journal of Impotence Research 2007;19:378)
- Stem cells in an animal model of ED
- Proves stem cells translate into smooth muscle tissue
Time-Phase Penis Cell Extractions
Green – Transplanted stem cells in penis
Red – Stem cells expressing markers of smooth muscle cells
Yellow – Stem cells taking the morphology of smooth muscle cells in the penis
First-In-Human Proof of Concept
- Case study published in peer-reviewed journal (Ichim TE et al. Journal of Translational Medicine 2013 Jun 9:11:139)
- 35 year-old patient with ED
- Non-responsive to PDE5 inhibitors and injections ineffective
- Patient received Caverstem procedure
- 3 Months Later:
- Marked increase in duration and frequency of erections
- Ability to sustain erections until orgasm
- No treatment-associated adverse events
