The scale bar on the bottom represents 1/62500 the width of a human hair, making the JBNm bundles thick and interspersed, lead to better outcomes for cells. Biomimetic Fabrication of Multi-Functional DNA-Inspired Nanomaterials via Controlled Self-assembly in Space (DNA Nano Therapeutics-Mission 2) continues prior research on in-space manufacturing of nanomaterials that mimic DNA and have applications for vaccines and regenerative medicine.
