Medical Researchers Found Something Incredible In Space

Since 2000, the International Space Station has brought together 280 astronauts from around the world in numerous flight operations and celestial research. However, these specialized scientists do more than just cool science experiments in space, such as 3D printing and space microbe testing. Using the ISS National Laboratory, which has a permanent microgravity environment, they conduct all kinds of experiments on the International Space Station, including stem cell research that has had promising results for disease prevention and treatment.

The International Space Station has been orbiting the Earth occupied by scientists and other personnel since November 2000. Its purpose is to provide a lab in zero gravity for astronauts and other scientists to run experiments, learn about space and transmit their findings back to Earth.

The complex human body is comprised of somatic (body) cells and reproductive cells (gametes). All cells in the human body originate from a single fertilized egg cell known as the zygote. The zygote then divides into a blastocyst made up of embryonic stem cells that give rise to more than 200 specialized types of cells, according to the International Society for Stem Cell Research.

Scientists and doctors have many options for obtaining sources of stem cells for research and therapeutic purposes. Examples of stem cells include …
