Stem Cells from MS, Parkinson’s Patients Voyaging to Space Station to Study Disease Impact on Brain in Microgravity
Stem cellsĀ from patients with Parkinsonās diseaseĀ and primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS) are soon to voyage into space, and be brought aboard the International Space Station so cell-to-cell interactions in these neurodegenerative diseases can be studied withoutĀ gravitational forces acting on them. This research project, proposed to launch in May…
