Points to know:
1. Salmonella vaccine being worked on in the Space Station, the space environment grows cells differently than here on earth. And they are also looking at now to make a better Pneumonia vaccine.
2. Stem cells behave differently in space than on earth. Wound healing in space flight don't work as they do on the ground. Wish they were doing something on brain stem cells. But then I have a vested interest in that subject. Those that know me have an idea of what that issue is all about.
3. Plants, in space this was very tough to follow but it takes five days and they watch the seedlings grow then return the incubated plants to Earth. Interesting but not really explained very well. Copyright 2010 Fairbanks Broadband LLC
