The molecular characteristics of the tumour should enable the oncologist to provide treatment adapted to each patient. Proteomics: identification of proteins present in the samples.

Photo documentary on bioprinting. Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) is working with a bioprinter from regenHU to produce different human tissues. Bioprinting allows three dimensional tissue production in a fast and controlled manner by the precise positioning of primary cells, biomaterials and growth factors. Thereby, bioprinted tissues simulate the complex in vivo situation of our body. Tissues are produced in a layer by layer mode by alternating photopolymerized bioink and cells. Before using for substance testing the tissue are matured in a cell culture environment. In future, printed tissues could reduce animal experiments in drug development and foster regenerative medicine. Collecting the cultured human cells before printing.

Reportage on the Vaccine Research Institutes (VRI) immunomonitoring platform. The Vaccine Research Institutes aim is to speed up the development of an HIV vaccine. It stems from the ANRSs (French national AIDS and hepatitis research agency) vaccine programme. Research is carried out on the mononuclear cells in the blood. The lab receives blood samples from people who have, and havent had the vaccine. The blood cells are cultured then brought into contact with the antigenic peptide. The tubes are then centrifuged to collect the cell residue and extract the RNA from the cells. The RNA allows the researchers to discover whether the cells (vaccinated or not) express the necessary genes to produce immune response proteins. The vaccines efficiency can then be gauged.

Measuring density.

Reportage at the Polytechnic school in Lausanne (Switzerland), in the integrated systems lab. The lab is developing an implantable system allowing human metabolism to be monitored. The implant has 5 biosensors, which measure the density of various molecules, a temperature sensor and a PH sensor. It transmits real time data via Bluetooth. Researchers can select the molecules they wish to detect on each separate biosensor (eg. Glucose or cholesterol). The implant is positioned according to the pathology to be monitored. A researcher is developing a larger version of the biosensors, she places a nanotube carbon solution and a specific enzyme on the nano-materials, which allow the desired molecule to be measured.

Kennedy Space Centers Carolina Franco, Ph.D., collects samples from a water tank, filled with green dye, for a biological study in the Florida spaceports Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building on Nov. 13, 2019. Two tanks have recently returned to Kennedy after spending the last five years on the International Space Station for an experiment to study slosh, or the movement of water, in a zero-gravity environment to help engineers predict the movement of propellant in rocket tanks. With the slosh experiment now concluded, Kennedys Air and Water Revitalization lab is studying the water tanks to determine if there is, or was, any microbial growth within them. The results will help NASA determine whether clean water can be stored in space for long-duration missions, an essential component to keeping astronauts safe and healthy as the agency prepares for missions to the Moon and beyond to Mars.

Veggie PONDS is a direct follow-on to the Veg-01 and Veg-03 hardware and plant growth validation tests. The primary goal of this newly developed plant growing system, Veggie PONDS, is to demonstrate uniform plant growth. PONDS units have features that are designed to mitigate microgravity effects on water distribution, increase oxygen exchange and provide sufficient room for root zone growth. PONDS is planned for use during Veg-04 and Veg-05 on the International Space Station after the Veggie PONDS Validation flights on SpaceX-14 and OA-9.

Jess Bunchek, a pseudonaut and associate scientist at NASAs Kennedy Space Center in Florida, prepares red romaine lettuce seeds for a germination test inside the Space Station Processing Facility on Jan. 15, 2020. The test will verify that the seeds can successfully grow from seed film - a new seed handling material - here on Earth before its sent to the International Space Station for testing in a microgravity environment as part of the VEG-03 series of experiments. The seed film experiment involves crew aboard the orbiting laboratory planting the seeds into plant pillows - a common method used to grow plants in space - themselves for the first time ever. The water-soluble, dissolving film addresses the challenge of handling seeds in a microgravity environment and also can be used to deliver fertilizers and other beneficial substances that help plants grow. The experiment will launch aboard a Northrop Grumman Antares rocket and Cygnus spacecraft on the companys 13th resupply servic
