iss060e023981 (8/7/2019) --- Photo documentation of an Amyloid Aggregation Grey Jar sample pack, aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The cap colors are used to distinguish the incubation times. The aim of the Amyloid Aggregation investigation is to assess if amyloid fibrils aggregation is affected by microgravity in order to identify a possible professional risk in astronauts spending long periods on board the ISS. The knowledge gained could contribute to the designing of innovative therapeutic strategies for the treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease and for other diseases characterized by protein accumulation.
