ICE Cube 15

Experiment Cube #15 Mission 2 includes three experiments:

Aleph Farms, which tests a technology for growing meat products from animal cells

CADW, which examines whether a specific DNA damage pathway is activated by microgravity

Amorphical, which examines proliferation and differentiation of bone-forming and skeletal muscle cells.

Amorphous calcium carbonate enhances osteogenic differentiation and myotube formation of human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells and primary skeletal muscle cells under microgravity conditions
  • Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) promotes boneand muscle cell development in microgravity
  • International Space Station experiments confirm terrestrial findings
  • ACC could counteract space‑induced musculoskeletal deterioration
  • Organ‑on‑a‑chip methodology enabled autonomous in‑orbit cultures
