Mouse embryos have been grown on the International Space Station (ISS) and developed normally in the first study, indicating it could be possible for humans to reproduce in space, a group of Japanese scientists said.
The researchers, including Teruhiko Wakayama, a professor at University of Yamanashi’s Advanced Biotechnology Centre, and a team from the Japan Aerospace Space Agency sent frozen mouse embryos on board a rocket to the ISS in August 2021.
