Could the answers to cancer lie in space? Why off-Earth . . . For the same reasons, though, space may be the perfect place to study cancer — and someday even treat it This year, tumors grown in laboratories on Earth are headed to the ISS as part of the
To Study Cancer “Kill Switch,” UC San Diego Scientists Will . . . A new cancer treatment discovered by the University of California San Diego Sanford Stem Cell Institute (SSCI) and developed by Aspera Biomedicines will undergo testing in outer space this spring — this as researchers prepare to launch a clinical trial of the drug on Earth Rebecsinib, an
Space is the Perfect Place to Study Cancer and Someday Even . . . Scientists at the University of Notre Dame are taking advantage of this quirk to develop an in-space cancer test that needs just a single drop of blood The work builds on a series of bubble-formation experiments that have already been conducted on the ISS
A protein from tiny tardigrades may help cancer patients . . . According to a new study co-authored by researchers at MIT, harnessing the damage suppressor protein found in tardigrades, a microscopic organism known for its resilience, could help ease the impacts of radiation therapy on cancer patients
The Role of Space Technology in Cancer Treatment and Future . . . Recent studies, particularly one led by Soon-Chan Kim and Min Jung Kim from Seoul National University, have shed light on how simulated microgravity can significantly influence the growth and drug response of colorectal cancer (CRC) organoids
When Fighting Cancer From Space, Form is Function Getting seven experiments on the International Space Station requires a really good idea Like a brand new way to attack tumors—one that you can only make in space Space has unique advantages for making medicines Its very low gravity makes it possible to grow molecules in shapes and uniformity that are difficult to create on Earth
Space Crystals and the Search for a Cancer Cure: Using . . . Specifically, the team leveraged the International Space Station (ISS) National Laboratory to crystallize a protein linked to several of the deadliest cancers, including pancreatic, lung, and colon cancers Gravity-driven forces can make it difficult to grow high-quality protein crystals on Earth
