Leveraging outer space to advance stem cell science and medicine
by Cedars-Sinai Medical Center Credit: CC0 Public Domain The secret to producing large batches of stem cells more efficiently may lie in the near-zero gravity conditions of space. Scientists at Cedars-Sinai have found that microgravity has the potential to contribute to life-saving advances on Earth by facilitating the rapid mass production of stem cells. A...
