Why Researchers Are Taking Heart Tissue Into Space
Scientists working with stem-cell-derived heart tissue say microgravity can both accelerate heart-like decline and help grow more complex cardiac structures, potentially speeding studies of heart failure and repair.
Key Takeaways
- Researchers are using microgravity to study heart failure mechanisms faster than on Earth.
- Space conditions may also improve the structure of engineered heart tissues and organoids.
