The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) is funding a solicitation searching for projects that use the International Space Station (ISS) National Laboratory to advance tissue engineering and mechanobiology research.
Through the solicitation, NSF will provide up to $1.6 million in funding for multiple projects.
Microgravity has an impact on organisms from bacteria to humans, resulting in...
MicroQuin, a biotechnology startup, used the International Space Station (ISS) National Laboratory to grow 3D breast and prostate cancer cell cultures to learn more about how these cancers develop and grow.
Via MicroQuin's ISS National Lab-sponsored research, its team identified microgravity-induced changes in cancer cells signaling, indicating that cancer cell survival depends on their ability...
Researchers at the International Space Station National Laboratory (ISS National Lab) and the University of Florida have modeled age-related muscle loss by using tissue chips in microgravity.
According to researchers, the model can be used to test novel treatments and study sarcopenia, an age-related condition that causes loss of muscle mass, strength and function.
Investigators determined that...
