flag South Korea launched its first space-based biological experiment, testing stem cell-grown heart tissue in microgravity.

flag South Korea launched its first space-based biological experiment with the BioCabinet, developed by Professor Chan Heum Park’s team at Hallym University, aboard the Nuri rocket. flag The 60-day mission, extendable to a year, tests artificial heart tissue growth from stem cells in microgravity, assessing cardiac contractions and blood vessel formation. flag It marks the nation’s first collection of biological tissue data in space, leveraging microgravity for improved 3D tissue development and drug crystallization. flag The team is advancing further with projects like BioRexs for cancer drug screening and BioLiv for space-fabricated liver tissue, positioning South Korea as a rising player in space bioengineering.
