Miniature brain and heart models launch to space aboard SpaceX CRS-35
Original: Miniature brain and cardiovascular models head to orbit on SpaceX CRS-35 to study aging
Miniature lab-grown brain and cardiovascular models are being sent to the International Space Station on SpaceX's CRS-35 cargo mission to study how microgravity accelerates aging. Scientists hope the orbiting tissue models will reveal aging mechanisms that are hard to observe on Earth, with possible implications for treating neurodegenerative and heart disease.
Why now: SpaceX's latest resupply launch is carrying novel human tissue experiments on aging, drawing attention to space-based medical research.
