The first 3D models of Parkinson’s, MS are headed into space

A group of brain organoids are set to blast off to the International Space Station (ISS) Wednesday, the first to model Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis (MS) in microgravity. A team of researchers from across the country believes the models could shed light on how brain cells behave in these diseases and uncover new approaches to treat them.
