The human body is fine-tuned to Earth’s gravity. A team
headed by Professor Oliver Ullrich from the University of Zurich’s Institute of
Anatomy is now conducting an experiment on the International Space Station
(ISS) to study whether this also applies to human cells. On the evening of
April 18, the transporter spaceship Dragon lifted off from the Cape Canaveral
launch center in Florida with a cargo of UZH immune cells on board.
