Sonic Hedgehog, Apoptosis, and the Penis

There is substantial potential to develop SHH for delivery to the penis of prostatectomy patients at the time of surgery in order to prevent apoptosis induction and long‐term ED development. Studies are in progress that will identify if SHH may be used as a regenerative therapy to speed CN regeneration. Podlasek CA. Sonic hedgehog, apoptosis and the penis.
