- Tissue Chip for Drug Screening
Two NIH-funded research teams will send tissue chips to the International Space Station National Laboratory (ISS-NL). The tissue chips will spend several weeks in orbit to collect information about why the aging process causes muscles to lose mass and strength and the immune system to work less effectively.
