Life science continues ramping up aboard the International Space Station as the Expedition 64 crew explores cancer therapies and heart conditions.
NASA Flight Engineers Kate Rubins and Victor Glover set up research hardware to create high quality antibody crystals Thursday morning for a new cancer study. The space medical research could accelerate the development of advanced therapies on Earth that target cancer cells.
Rubins then spent the afternoon servicing samples for the Cardinal Heart study that observes microgravity s affect on aging and weakening heart muscles. Glover participated in ultrasound eye exams with fellow Flight Engineers Shannon Walker and Soichi Noguchi.
