According to the passage, mini human brains may help cure Parkinson’s disease since ----.
Functioning mini human brains grown in a lab could help
cure Parkinson’s. It may sound incredible, yet the
created blobs may help researchers defeat Parkinson’s
disease and other age-related brain conditions. The mini
brain is an organoid grown from stem cells to imitate the
human midbrain, the ‘information superhighway’ of the
brain that controls hearing, vision and movement. Other
researchers have successfully grown brain tissue in a
lab, but a team made up of researchers from A Star
Genome Institute of Singapore, the Duke-NUS Medical
School and the National Neuroscience Institute say
theirs is the first to contain neuromelanin, a dark
pigment found within the human brain that is closely
linked to the development of Parkinson’s disease. It also
contains specialised neurons that produce dopamine, a
neurotransmitter involved with motor control as low
levels of dopamine lead to slowed reactions and
disorders like Parkinson’s. Shawn Je, the lead
researcher of the team, says that their mini-brain
organoids mimic human midbrain development and
that now they can really test how these mini brains react
to existing or newly developed drugs before treating
patients. This will be a game changer for future drug
development.
