# Petri Private Parts Lab-Grown Reproductive Organs are a Helpful Science Discovery By Cat_Marie | Published 2009-11-13 | Naughty Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petri-private-parts-lab-grown-reproductive-organs-are-a-helpful-science-dis References: [scientificamerican](http://www.scientificamerican.com/blog/post.cfm?id=penile-erectile-tissue-grown-in-lab-2009-11-10) Advances in [bio-engineering](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skin-regeneration-compound) have made it possible for researchers at the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine at Wake Forest University in Winston–Salem, N.C. to grow penis parts. More specifically, the [corpora cavernosas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reproductive-health-clinic) of male rabbits can be recreated in a lab. This sponge-like structure fills with blood and makes the penis erect. Most men that suffer from [erectile dysfunction](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drugless-erectile-dysfunction-remedies-vertica-aims-to-enhance-erectile-qua) or other conditions that leave their penises unable to get or maintain an erection will benefit from this research in the future.
