Spac e bioreactor grows large tissue samples in orbit
A NASA Johnson Space Center team has patented a Rotating Wall Bioreactor that mimics weightlessness, enabling brain tumor, colon, small intestine, and cartilage cell clusters to grow hundreds of layers deep. Clinicians see potential for large scale tissue structures and cancer research, with commercial partners sought.
