NG-19 Research: Emory University
Heart disease may be the leading cause of death in the United States, but researchers from Emory University are working toward a solution. Researchers from Emory will continue research on the space station to examine how microgravity affects the growth and function of cardiomyocytes (heart muscle cells) as they mature into tissue-like structures. This video provides insight into their investigation launching on Northrop Grumman’s 19th Commercial Resupply Services mission to the space station.
