The weak gravity in space puts cells under great stress, making them age more quickly, which helps scientists monitor the progress of cancer growth and the effect of treatments for the disease faster and more effectively than what can be done on Earth, which shortens a lot of the time required for this research. .
Experts have confirmed that low gravity in space has several benefits, the most important of which is that it makes cells grow in three dimensions, just as cells grow in the body. Meanwhile, the scientists conducting this experiment expressed their optimism about this step, stressing that these results represent practical hope for fighting cancer.
The team hopes to launch the drug in clinical trials on Earth by the end of this year. This is not the first time the team has sent such samples into space, as stem cells have previously been released on multiple SpaceX flights. Pre-leukemic changes were observed that were not seen during the same time frame in controls on Earth.
These discoveries are not only considered a scientific achievement, but they open new horizons for understanding cancer and developing effective treatments for a disease that has long occupied medical circles without an effective treatment for it.
New hope
Muhannad Diab, a consultant oncologist, said in an interview with Radar on Sky News Arabia that this discovery and these experiments have given new hopes in treating patients’ cancer.
- Cancer cells sent into space grow almost nine times faster than their normal growth rate on Earth.
- Practical trials may take about two or three years, and sometimes it may take longer until we get their results today. The results could be available in about a month and a half or two months.
- The ability of space to help determine which gene is superior to all genes.
- 3 types of cancer samples or cells were transported to outer space: leukemia, breast cancer, and lung cancer, which are the most common on planet Earth.
- A drug was developed on Earth for this gene and was tested in space, where it was actually possible to completely stop the tumor.
- “This drug, which has achieved great success in fighting cancer in space, is expected to receive approval from the US Food and Drug Administration.”FDA“To be used on Earth.
- The fight against cancer in space, which was characterized by slow progress on Earth, has accelerated.
- All scientific experiment
s were performed on extremely well-preserved specimens, and any rays from outer space were prevented from entering the cancer cells. - During the experiments there was only one factor present, which was very low gravity and very low atmospheric pressure.
