[Music]

2
00:00:10,150 --> 00:00:08,549
we can grow 3d tissue in a in a fashion

3
00:00:11,430 --> 00:00:10,160
that better resembles what happens in

4
00:00:13,270 --> 00:00:11,440
the human body

5
00:00:15,190 --> 00:00:13,280
cancer tumor grows in different ways in

6
00:00:17,109 --> 00:00:15,200
the human body it's a 3d structure

7
00:00:19,109 --> 00:00:17,119
sometimes almost spherical

8
00:00:21,109 --> 00:00:19,119
and so that's what happens in vivo in

9
00:00:23,670 --> 00:00:21,119
the human body when you try to do that

10
00:00:25,750 --> 00:00:23,680
in vitro in a test tube or a petri dish

11
00:00:27,189 --> 00:00:25,760
it looks more like layers

12
00:00:28,550 --> 00:00:27,199
just looking at the shape you could

13
00:00:29,669 --> 00:00:28,560
compare that to something that looks

14
00:00:32,790 --> 00:00:29,679
more like a tater tot in

15
00:00:34,790 --> 00:00:32,800
three-dimensionality versus a pancake so

16
00:00:36,709 --> 00:00:34,800
although it's the same material just the

17
00:00:38,869 --> 00:00:36,719
fact that it has a different shape

18
00:00:40,389 --> 00:00:38,879
changes a lot of things so if you don't

19
00:00:42,389 --> 00:00:40,399
have the right shape then you can really

20
00:00:44,389 --> 00:00:42,399
conduct the tests as accurately as you

21
00:00:46,069 --> 00:00:44,399
would like to

22
00:00:47,910 --> 00:00:46,079
we're integrating two experiments

23
00:00:50,150 --> 00:00:47,920
scheduled to be launched at an orbital

24
00:00:51,590 --> 00:00:50,160
atk 7. we're hopeful that these two

25
00:00:53,830 --> 00:00:51,600
experiments are going to help us in the

26
00:00:55,350 --> 00:00:53,840
fight against this devastating disease

27
00:00:57,350 --> 00:00:55,360
i've had the unique opportunity i've

28
00:00:59,270 --> 00:00:57,360
been very fortunate in this regard of

29
00:01:02,310 --> 00:00:59,280
seeing different experiments go to

30
00:01:04,229 --> 00:01:02,320
station and from osteoporosis research

31
00:01:05,830 --> 00:01:04,239
to cardiac research

32
00:01:07,750 --> 00:01:05,840
to cancer

33
00:01:09,270 --> 00:01:07,760
to drug resistance

34
00:01:11,910 --> 00:01:09,280
all of those

35
00:01:14,469 --> 00:01:11,920
only had a part of the vision being

36
00:01:16,149 --> 00:01:14,479
helping humans go to go to mars and go

37
00:01:18,310 --> 00:01:16,159
beyond the microgravity environment but

38
00:01:20,469 --> 00:01:18,320
mostly are to bring benefits to people

39
00:01:22,630 --> 00:01:20,479
on earth and that's really what

40
00:01:24,550 --> 00:01:22,640
motivates me to keep going knowing that

41
00:01:28,149 --> 00:01:24,560
might bring a little bit of help to to
