Gut on Chip

iss062e102157 (3/18/2020) --- A view of the Gut on Chip CubeLab aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Organ-Chips as a Platform for Studying Effects of Space on Human Enteric Physiology (Gut on Chip) examines the effect of microgravity and other space-related stress factors on Emulate’s human innervated Intestine-Chip (hiIC). Results could contribute to prevention methods and treatments for these effects, helping to protect astronaut health on future long-term missions.
