[NASA]. Robust neurite outgrowth stemming from cultured organoids captured after 30 days on the International Space Station, offering a view of how neurodegenerative cells interact in the MINDS investigation.

This study examines how brain organoids respond to neuroinflammation in microgravity to better understand how disorders like Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, and Alzheimer’s progress.

Investigation findings may reveal how microgravity affects brain organoids and could support the development of therapies to address neurodegenerative diseases. Credit: Aspen Neuroscience.
