In a world first, a group of Japanese scientists successfully grew mouse embryos aboard the International Space Station (ISS), offering hope for human reproduction in space. How they did it: The team, which consists of researchers from the University of Yamanashi, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and national research institute Riken, developed a device that allowed ISS astronauts to handle early mouse embryos. In August 2021, they sent the station 720 frozen embryos, which were then cultured for four days.
