Led by NCATS through its Tissue Chips in Space initiative, researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), developed the immune system chip to explore the relationship between aging and immune responses and to look for possible ways to slow the aging process. Kennedy Space Center, FL (June 20, 2017) — The Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS) and the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), today announced five grants have been awarded in response to a funding opportunity focused on human physiology and disease onboard the International Space Station (ISS) …

Tissue Chips in Space-Challenges and Opportunities. (4)Department of … Tissue chips, small chips containing human cells grown on an artificial scaffold to model the structure and function of human tissue, will soon head to the International Space Station (ISS) National Lab.Though they may be small, tissue chips could have a huge impact on medicine—allowing scientists to better model diseases and more accurately screen potential new drugs.
