SpaceX launches lab-grown brains into space
The SpaceX CRS-35 mission to the International Space Station was successfully completed, sending miniature models of the human brain implanted in the laboratory (miBrains) for five weeks to study the effects of space on the brain. The study aims to identify cellular and genetic changes resulting from microgravity and radiation, which may impact aging and neurological diseases, as well as enhance the protection of astronaut health in future long-duration missions to the Moon and Mars. The mission also includes an experiment to investigate the development of plant diseases under microgravity conditions, with the goal of developing disease-resistant crops for space. The experiments will return to Earth in mid-November off the coast of California.
