title: [Prospects for application of stem cells from adipose tissue in treating erectile dysfunction].
abstract: Although phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors are the first-line treatment of ED, some patients remain unresponsive to any pharmacotherapy. To date, the use of stem cells is considered as a new treatment modality for erectile dysfunction. The validity of this assumption has been experimentally proved in preclinical and clinical studies. The main focus is on the stem cells derived from adipose tissue, due to advantages over other sources.
