SINGAPORE -- Scientists in Singapore claim to have real sister and brother sex partner videossuccessfully grown functioning midbrain tissue -- a feat that may bring researchers a step closer to finding a cure for brain diseases like Parkinson's.
The group of researchers from the A*Star Genome Institute of Singapore, the Duke-NUS Medical School and the National Neuroscience Institute announced their findings from their two-year research effort to the press on Thursday.

The brain of a Parkinson's disease sufferer shows depleted levels of neuromelanin, which has been associated with protecting cells from dying. With the functioning midbrain tissue, the researchers hope it can provide new testing ground for possible cures for the disease.

The scientists had established a method of turning the cells into midbrain tissue, and noticed the neuromelanin in the "mini brains" that they had grown.
"We didn't expect to find the black pigment there," he said, adding that the discovery opens the path for more targeted, individual cures.

Each brain organoid is just 2-3mm in size, and took just over a month to grow. The tissue's neurons are "live and firing," the team said.
According to the Singapore Ministry of Health, three in every 1,000 Singaporeans over the age of 50 suffer from Parkinson's disease.
