For the first time, the growth of blood cells in space was done by Chinese astronauts

Chinese astronauts managed to successfully produce and grow stem cells in space for the first time.

According to Tecna’s technology and technology news service, according to the report published by South Morning China, researchers first transferred stem cells into space on May 10 in the Tianzhou 6 mission.

The time to conduct experiments on these cells began after the cargo spacecraft docked with the Chinese space station. Now, after almost half a month, these cells were transferred to the earth again with the help of Shenzhou 15 spacecraft. These cells are the multi-functional human cells from which it is possible to create all the main cells. These cells were located in space in Vientiane’s laboratory chamber.

In the next step, the differentiation of these cells with blood cells was investigated. Li Xiaohua, a researcher at Shenzhen Institute of Technology and leader of this study, says: In this experiment, the change of pluripotent stem cells to blood stem cells was observed.

In this regard, he says: multi-functional cells will become more mature and differentiated by becoming a cluster. In this experiment, we succeeded in producing human blood stem cells in space, these cells were in good condition in space, and it was possible to collect the expected data.
