Stem cells in space

The next generation of stem cells: Some of the detrimental risks that microgravity may have on an embryo include inhibited bone maturation, heart and blood vessel alterations, delayed neural growth, and altered muscle tissue maturation. 'The effect that microgravity may have on a growing embryo or fetus would be similar to an adult body — however, much more detrimental. The adult body can adapt to some microgravity space environments — however, what remains totally unknown is if an embryo can adapt to such an environment too.'
