Scientists have grown tiny human brains in space to research new treatments for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and spinal injuries.The low gravity environment on the International Space Station (ISS) enabled researchers to grow brain organoids in just 72 hours. This process can take months on Earth. The organoids, which are artificially-grown masses of cells that mimic the structure and function of a human organ, allowed researchers to test a new method for curing currently untreatable neurological diseases. The promising new treatment, developed by biotechnology company Axonis Therapeutics, uses a reprogrammed virus to deliver beneficial gene therapy to central nervous system cells (CNS). Such modified viruses are called…

We move so smoothly and quietly it’s as if we’re gliding out of a starport.Something else strikes me – the sheer size of the space. There’s enough room for the driver and six guests – and with coffee-cup holders, charging points and two fold-down seats, it’s a…
