We learned that microgravity mimics some of the qualities of accelerated aging," said Ngan F. Huang, an associate professor at Stanford who led the study.
"A lot of what was known about how space affects muscles... We wanted to have something more structurally complex." - Ngan F. Huang
"We received funding to do a tissue engineering experiment on the ISS... became curious how microgravity affects human health," said Huang.
"When we grow cells on Earth, we pour the medium... But in space, in the absence of gravity, we needed a closed, leak-proof, tightly sealed chamber," Huang said.
