MD Anderson and collaborators to launch project studying T cells on International Space Station

Grant will enable researchers to study the effects of microgravity on T cell differentiation to gain new biological insights and improve cancer treatments on Earth  HOUSTON ― The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and collaborators are initiating a research project that will send T cells to the International Space Station (ISS) to study the effects of prolonged microgravity on cell differentiation, activation, memory and exhaustion. These results will be further analyzed on Earth to uncover signaling pathways […]
