Peyronie disease (penile curvature), is a fibrosing disease of tunica albuginea causes lots of penile scarring and deformity affecting function and erection. It is a challenging condition of the penile tissue that often require treatment. However there is limited therapeutic options and surgical treatment could be morbid and extensive. We aim in this discovery research to characterize several molecular pathways for novel applications of biomarkers and therapeutics
