Cerebral Ageing is an experiment conducted aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Astronauts have succeeded in maintaining cultures of cerebral organoids in space for the very first time. The samples returned to Earth in excellent condition to study the effects of the space flight environment. Their analysis has begun and will help push the frontiers of knowledge in biology, particularly in the study of aging.
