Mending the Bend

I read an article the other day about how mi-R29, a microRNA mimic, was used to successfully treat *and reverse* pulmonary fibrosis in rodent models. I don't know if pulmonary fibrosis is similar enough to penile fibrosis to respond in the same way, but someone should look into this.

You can read the study here:
YaleNews | Reversing the effects of pulmonary fibrosis with a microRNA mimic

Any medical professionals or researchers out there know enough to comment?

I am not a doctor, but I think scar is scar, doesn't matter where in the body.
As it is delivered intravenously, it may help (in my opinion) with other scars also.
I would like to hear what is the opinion of a doctor, maybe Dr. Elist will say what is his opinion.
In any case, from mouse to human research may take long time.
