jsc2021e019396 (5/19/2021) --- Nortis Parvivo culture platform with three independently perfused kidney tubules. Twenty-four of these devices will be sent to the ISS-NL to study the effects of microgravity on kidney stone disease. Effects of Microgravity on the Structure and Function of Proximal and Distal Tubule MPS (Kidney Cells-02) uses a 3D kidney cell model or chip to study the effects of microgravity on formation of microcrystals in kidney tubules.
