Hair cloning may still be a distant dream, but the future is brighter for erectile dysfunction (ED) sufferers. PDE-5 inhibitors (v****, Cialis, Levitra) were a major breakthrough, but gene therapy seems to be the future of ED treatment. The new therapy promises more efficacy, more safety and more spontaneity. One injection into the penis every six months and that's it, you're ready to go!

And here's the official website of the company that's conducting this research, Ion Channel Innovations:

Apparently, they have already completed Phase 1 trials and Phase 2 is now under preparation. Gene therapy was tested on animals and humans and there were no side effects.

Let's hope the FDA and the world crisis won't stand in the way...

Mine gets erect, just not as huge as I want. I had no idea it was a gene thing. Good luck though.

CCS, how about something like

"Minoxidil does nothing to slow the balding process, instead it gives an offset of hair growth. The effect is purely cosmetic and is not treating the condition of male pattern baldness."
