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.
iss062e120658 (April 2, 2020) --- NASA astronaut and Expedition 62 Flight Engineer conducts cardiac research in the Life Sciences Glovebox located in the Japanese Kibo laboratory module. The Engineered Heart Tissues investigation could promote a better understanding of cardiac function in microgravity which would be useful for drug development and other applications related to heart conditions on Earth.
