In a first, kidney and liver tissues printed in space to tackle critical Earth problem
SMRTR summary
Gravity causes cells to drift and clump unevenly during bioprinting, making it hard to build functional tissues. To fix this, Auxilium Biotechnologies used the ISS's microgravity to successfully bioprint kidney, liver, and cartilage tissues in space for the first time, also producing 28 nerve repair implants during the same mission.
