BRONX, N.Y., April 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine have developed a topical drug that regenerates and restores the function of erectile nerves damaged by radical prostatectomy, the most common treatment for localized prostate cancer. The drug was tested in rats, and the findings were published online today in
JCI Insight.
These images show neurons cultured in petri dishes and treated with either control (inactive) siRNA (left) or the siRNA drug itself (FL2 siRNA) (right). Neurons treated with the drug regenerate their axons (the thin fibers extending from the neurons central bodies) at a significantly faster rate than control-treated neurons. Scale bar = 0.10 mm.
