Cell science and protein crystal growth research for the International Space Station.

摘要: The recent National Research Council report, Future Biotechnology on the International Space Station, evaluates NASA's plans for research in cell science and protein crystal growth to be conducted Station. This report concludes that NASA biotechnology programs have potential significantly impact relevant scientific fields increase understanding insight into fundamental biological issues. In order realize impacts, must focus its by selecting specific questions related gravitational forces' role behavior using microgravity environment as a tool determine structure of macromolecules with important implications. Given time volume constraints associated space-based experiments, instrumentation used space station designed maximize productivity researchers, recruitment investigators support experiments should aim encourage facilitate cutting-edge research.
