After men have surgery to remove a cancerous prostate gland, up to 80% of them will lose the ability to have an erection because of damage to a critical nerve that runs along the prostate.   New research from Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine shows the damaged nerve can be regenerated more quickly with a protein called sonic hedgehog delivered via a nanofiber gel.

The study, done with rats, showed the protein regenerated the damaged nerve twice as fast as it would have regenerated on its own. Speeding up the nerve healing is essential in order to prevent cell

The prostate is a male reproductive gland tasked with producing the fluid that carries sperm out of the body during ejaculation. The prostate surrounds the urethra, the tube through which urine passes during urination. As men age, the prostate gland grows bigger. It is originally about the size of a walnut, often increasing in size by the age of 40 to the size of an apricot. By the time a man is 60 years old, his prostate gland may have enlarged to the size of a lemon. The enlarged prostate ends up squeezing the urethra like a clamp on a garden hose, causing the flow of urine to become weak and slow. The
