| Description: | Despite the abundant research on effects of microgravity on stem cells, there is no single verdict. The contradiction among researchers is due to a variety of factors such as the type of stem cells utilized, guidelines and protocols followed, type of microgravity platform utilized, and presence of other microgravity-sensitive subjects. Along with these inconsistencies, researchers face many challenges which stem from experimental, ethical, political and legal issues. Hence, a microgravity experiment was proposed to act as a stepping stone towards bypassing the flaws in current stem cell research. The purpose of this experiment is to facilitate researchers on how to avoid inconsistencies to obtain informative and repeatable results; which can provide a gateway to further investigation and understanding of stem cells. |
