Researcher Dhruv Sareen's stem cells are now orbiting the Earth. The mission? To test whether they'll grow better in zero gravity.
Scientists at Cedars-Sin
In an experiment at the International Space Station, scientists are trying to find ways to produce huge batches of stem cells that can generate nearly any other type of cell and potentially be used to make treatments for many diseases.
Scientists are shooting stem cells into space, hoping to make discoveries that help people on Earth. Some aim to overcome the difficulty of mass producing the cells on Earth.
