Cancer in space A mechanism for cancer growth has been found in space as Californian researchers team up with astronauts to combat the disease. The phenomenon, known as microgravity causes cells to age more rapidly after placing them under incredible stress. It would enable scientists to witness the progression of cancer growth more rapidly than compared to Earth. The Axiom 3 spaceflight launched from Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral on January 18 carried with it cancer cells grown in the lab. Previous missions saw teams notice mini tumors sent to space activated the gene before tripling in size in just 10 days. A much faster rate of growth is experienced compared to back on Earth. Further testing revealed that ADAR1 “proliferated wildly” in the space tumors as they grew with disturbing, unchecked rapidity. Scientists began developing an experimental drug which blocks ADAR1 activation. #opportunities #strategy #programming #design #team #research #data #health #development #collaboration #projects #testing #immunotherapy #cancer #technology #biotechnology #healthcare #medicine #oncology #precisionmedicine #liquidbiopsy #rna #dna #venturecapital #startup #immunooncology #tcells #innovation #growth #tech #lifesciences #biopharma #oncodxrx

Very cool project! 🚀 Excited to share the launch of the Space Omics and Medical Atlas (SOMA)! 🌌 SOMA is a comprehensive resource integrating clinical, cellular, and multi-omic research profiles from various space missions, marking a >10-fold increase in publicly available human space omics data. This atlas includes extensive molecular and physiological profiles, revealing key features across missions and mission-specific responses. By leveraging SOMA, we can accelerate precision aerospace medicine, enhancing health monitoring, risk mitigation, and countermeasures for future space missions. #SpaceMedicine #PrecisionMedicine #genomics #Omics #SOMA #NASA #SpaceX #Innovation #SpaceExploration 🔗 Learn more about SOMA and its impact on space exploration! https://lnkd.in/eGJqUDct

The LBA is excited to welcome our newest collaborating partner, Aptah Bio, and its CEO, Rafael M. Bottos Bottos. Based in San Carlos, CA, Aptah Bio is pioneering RNA WiCo™ (RNA Widespread Correction), a novel rejuvenation technology that restores RNA expression balance and reduces toxic protein levels. Unlike partial reprogramming, RNA WiCo™ can rejuvenate fully differentiated cells, addressing challenges in manufacturing, distribution, safety, and efficacy. In vitro and in vivo studies show the technology improves RNA integrity, leading to healthier protein expression and positive biological effects without safety concerns. Aptah Bio plans to begin human trials in 12-15 months, focusing on Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM-IDH-WT). They’ve also partnered with a top European ophthalmology institute to develop treatments for Dry-AMD and are collaborating with UCSD/NASA to study aging in astronauts. Brain organoids for these studies are set to launch to the International Space Station in 2025.

This #SpaceSaturday, we're spotlighting an exciting Space Physics program led by Principal Investigator Ying Zou and managed by Program Officer Julie Moses. The project investigates upper thermospheric winds around the cusp region, where solar wind penetrates the ionosphere. All done at The Johns Hopkins University / Johns Hopkins Medicine. The cusp acts as a funnel for energy input from the magnetosphere, making it a crucial area to study. By coordinating observations from Scanning Doppler Imagers, SuperDARN, Swarm, and enhancing thermospheric models like GITM, the team will unravel the patterns, forcing mechanisms, and relationship between cusp winds and thermosphere density anomalies. This research aligns with AFOSR's objectives and will advance our understanding of Magnetosphere-Ionosphere-Thermosphere (M-I-T) coupling, contributing to space physics research and space weather applications crucial for satellite operations and forecasting. Stay tuned for updates on this fascinating exploration!
