NASA grew crystals from a protein found in human tears aboard ISS; scientists use them to study how proteins form in space |
Image Credit: Redwire/Nasa Nasa has grown crystals of lysozyme, a protein found in human tears, saliva and milk, aboard the International Space Station (ISS) to study how crystals form in microgravity. The experiment offers a closer look at how proteins develop under conditions that differ from those on Earth. According to Nasa, the crystals were…
