British Space Startup Launches Longevity Lab Into Orbit The latest development in the quest for eternal youth has all the makings of science fiction: a British startup launching a laboratory into orbit to study disease causing proteins in zero gravity conditions.
Mass Balance's ambitious project aims to revolutionize our understanding of disordered proteins, responsible for age related diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
The challenges facing scientists on Earth are well documented: disordered proteins constantly change shape, making them difficult to image and study.
