In October, we #thinkpink, and for a good reason—one out of every eight women will be diagnosed with #breastcancer in their lifetime, and each year, 2 million women are given this frightening diagnosis. 🎗️ #Biotechnology startup MicroQuin used the microgravity environment of space in an effort to learn how breast and prostate cancer cells develop and grow but "found something incredible that could lead to a way to treat not just breast and prostate cancers but all cancers." Details are in the latest issue of Upward, the official magazine of the ISS National Lab: https://ow.ly/T5L450TUVX2

#WelcomeHome! After 7 months living and working onboard the International Space Station, the astronauts of #Crew8 splashed down off the coast of #Pensacola, #Florida early this morning. Check out some of the groundbreaking science that took place during their mission: https://ow.ly/Xg6g50TTgk1

We're heading to the 2024 @ucsdstemcells Symposium! Join us tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 for an exciting panel of experts who'll delve into the the latest innovations with Stem Cells and Space. Learn how research onboard the orbiting laboratory offers unparalleled opportunities for a chance to solve some of the world's most pressing challenges! See you then!

Growing stem cells? In space? In off-the-shelf, affordable lab hardware? In 3D? We did all that…and more! 🚀🧫 Thrilled to publish our new paper, “Surface tension enables induced pluripotent stem cell culture in commercially available hardware during spaceflight” in Nature NPJ Microgravity! Read for free here: https://lnkd.in/gHeTScgi As with all our space biosciences studies, this was a hugely collaborative effort.
