Multi-use Variable-g Platform-02 Cell-03 experiment
iss062e098371 (March 17, 2020) --- NASA astronaut and Expedition 62 Flight Engineer Andrew Morgan conducts cardiac research activities inside the portable glovebag. Morgan was servicing heart cell samples for the Multi-use Variable-g Platform-02 Cell-03 experiment. The investigation induces stem cells to generate heart precursor cells and cultures those cells on the space station to analyze and compare with cultures grown on Earth. Results may help treat spaceflight-induced cardiac abnormalities and accelerate development and reduce costs of drug therapies on Earth.
