Scientists are growing tumors in space to study how to personalize cancer treatment
SMRTR summary
Scientists are growing patient-derived tumors on the International Space Station to study how they respond to cancer treatments in microgravity. The research by Encapsulate, funded with $4.88 million from NASA and NSF, uses tumor-on-a-chip devices that create more realistic 3D models than Earth-based cultures, potentially enabling doctors to test treatments before administering them to patients.
