Jeff June: Spaceflight Microgravity Unlocks New Insights Into Rare Pediatric Heart Disorders
Jeff June, Innovation and Ecosystem Leader at University Lab Partners, MedTech Innovator, Founding CEO and Board Member at Ischemia Care, shared on LinkedIn about a recent article by Sara Benedetti, published in Precision Clinical Medicine, adding:
“Have you ever considered how space research could impact human health?
What if a heart cell in orbit could teach us about a rare disease here on Earth?
This question is explored this review in Precision Clinical Medicine, co-authored by Kathleen Rubins, Christopher Mason, Afshin Beheshti, and colleagues.
They ask whether studying patient-derived cells in space could reveal disease-related changes that are harder to detect on Earth.
The review focuses on rare pediatric mitochondrial diseases and congenital heart disorders.”
Title: Human induced pluripotent stem cells and organoid models in space for investigating severe pediatric metabolic and congenital disorders
