The Hottest Trend in Space: Medical and Biological Research

1

Recently, we read an article on website Biospace about biomedical research in space, and are really impressed by the development of our human technology. The article mentioned that this unique environment space can provide insights into diseases and their treatments that are impossible to achieve here on Earth.

Compared to laboratories on Earth, space laboratories largely eliminate the interference of gravity and atmospheric conditions, providing a unique, prolonged, and stable microgravity and radiation environment. In other words, in the cosmic environment, fundamental scientific experiments exploring the origins of the universe, revealing the essence and laws of matter, and conducting a wide range of experiments in life sciences, materials science, and various other disciplines become feasible.

Biomedical research, the bedrock of medical advancements on Earth, has always been a maze of challenges. From the complexities of human biology to the unpredictability of diseases, researchers are in a constant battle with variables that can alter the course of a study. But what if there was a way to sidestep some of these Earth-bound limitations? This is where space, the next frontier in clinical research, comes into play. With its unique environment of microgravity, space offers a fresh perspective for research. In microgravity, where the gravitational pull is much weaker than on Earth, cells and molecules behave differently.

It is a new frontier and full of challenge. As we know that China is also actively developing space experiments, and in the next 10 years, the Chinese National Space Laboratory is expected to collect and conduct thousands of on-orbit scientific experiments to fully leverage the utility of the national space laboratory. Currently, the space station has the capability to carry out large-scale space science research, with more than 20 experiment racks operating in orbit. Each of these racks serves as a small space laboratory dedicated to a significant research area.

We expect that the scientists can take advantage of the space to develop and research medicine and biology to make revolutionary breakthroughs in medicine, pioneer new frontiers in drug development on Earth, and benefit humanity. These researches remind us that if the researchers also need electrophresis experiment for their research samples.Electrophoresis is a commonly used experimental technique in biology, primarily employed for the separation, detection, and analysis of biological molecules such as DNA, RNA, and proteins. Electrophoresis utilizes an electric field to migrate charged biomolecules, achieving separation based on their size, shape, or charge differences. It plays a crucial role in biological experiments, providing scientists with an effective means to study and comprehend the properties and interactions of biological molecules.
