About
Jun-Kyu Suh is a leading urological researcher whose work centers on erectile dysfunction, cavernous nerve injury, and the molecular mechanisms underlying penile rehabilitation. His major contributions lie in identifying novel therapeutic targets for nerve-sparing strategies following radical prostatectomy. In his highly cited 2020 study, Suh demonstrated that neutralizing antibodies to proNGF—the precursor of nerve growth factor—can rescue erectile function in a mouse model of cavernous nerve injury. This work revealed that blocking proNGF regulates the expression of key neurotrophic and angiogenic factors, offering a promising pathway to prevent denervation-induced vascular damage. With over 10 citations, this paper has influenced subsequent investigations into neuroprotection and tissue regeneration. Suh’s research bridges basic neuroscience and clinical urology, providing mechanistic insights that could lead to new treatments for post-surgical erectile dysfunction. His findings underscore the importance of targeting neurotrophin signaling to preserve erectile tissue health, making his work essential reading for researchers in urology, neurobiology, and regenerative medicine.
