Scientists have developed an artificial tissue that successfully restored penile function in pigs and shows promise to one day be used on humans.The 'bionic penis' effectively mimics a fibrous sheath of tissue that is necessary to maintain erections, called tunica albuginea, which pumps blood to the penis.About half of men between the ages of 40 and 70 reportedly experience some form of erectile dysfunction, while an estimated five per cent suffer from Peyronie's disease, which is thought to occur as a result of injury from sex.
