Microgravity and higher radiation levels in orbit could disrupt cell alignment, gene expression, or organ formation.

China has become the first nation to send human artificial embryos into orbit, aiming to uncover how space conditions like ...

The team observed the emergence of the three-dimensional embryo-like structures under a microscope in the lab. These started producing blood (seen here in red) after around two weeks of development - ...
