"...space may be the perfect place to study cancer — and someday even treat it."
ISS National Lab-sponsored research from Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine and University of Notre Dame aims to bring hope to the millions of people suffering from #cancer here on Earth.
Could the answers to cancer lie in space? Why off-Earth research is heating up

An experiment involving artificial organs is just one way researchers are trying to capitalize on the weird ways low-gravity environments affect the human body.
The International Space Station (ISS) National Laboratory
Solving some of the world’s most pressing challenges through space-based research.
Where? In space.
Low Earth orbit(Abbreviation: LEO) The orbit around the Earth that extends up to an altitude of 2,000 km (1,200 miles) from Earth’s surface. The International Space Station’s orbit is in LEO, at an altitude of approximately 250 miles. (LEO), approximately 250 miles above the Earth.

In this issue’s cover story, learn how ISS research could lead to a groundbreaking new treatment for macular degeneration. Other features highlight how microgravityThe condition of perceived weightlessness created when an object is in free fall, for example when an object is in orbital motion. Microgravity alters many observable phenomena within the physical and life sciences, allowing scientists to study things in ways not possible on Earth. The International Space Station provides access to a persistent microgravity environment. manufacturing can improve therapeutic nanomaterials to treat disease and how space-based studies are helping to advance regenerative therapies to reverse heart damage.
