science publication


This is not running related, but it's very exciting news and I wanted to share.

I work at a research laboratory. Mostly, I do bench work in cell biology and immunohistochemistry. For the past 2 year I have been working simultaneously on 2 projects at work. One is for my thesis on BPA and the other is for the lab about a condition known as CVOD (corporal vascular-occlusive disorder)

The CVOD project was published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine and my name is on it :).

  • ABSTRACT

    Introduction.  Long-term daily administration of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors in the rat prevents or reverses corporal veno-occlusive dysfunction (CVOD) and smooth muscle cell (CSMC) loss and fibrosis, in both aging and bilateral cavernosal nerve resection (BCNR) models for erectile dysfunction. In the aging rat model, corporal implantation of skeletal muscle-derived stem cells (MDSC) reverses CVOD. Nitric oxide (NO) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate can modulate stem cell lineage.
