Blankmind,

This old post gives a summary of the basic gene therapy idea - things have advanced considerably since then...
Message 5319236

To all, I am sorry to have misinterpreted some observations about the gene therapy work in what I called the "tissue distribution problem". I drew the conclusion that the gene construct must be fairly evenly distributed throughout the penis to give an "even" erection. Rather the problem is ensuring that the injected gene is expressed (ie produces the channel proteins) not too distant from the site of injection. It appears that this is what one of the AUA abstracts is about this and shows that the expressions IS local - GOOD. I wish Ed or BigK could confirm this.

I am out of my mind not being able to read the AUA abstracts. AUA told me they will be on the site later in the month, and Dr Christ is away at present so I cannot check with him.

BigK, is the combo study by Nehra sponsored by Vivus? It is not one of the five that you posted as being sponsored by Vivus and you only posted a single non-Vivus study from Korea. What about the combo study?
