“Studying bloodstain patterns can provide valuable reconstructive information about a crime or accident. However, little is known about how liquid blood behaves in an altered gravity environment.

"In normal gravity, they usually flow out to the surface. They come out because of this concept in physics called buoyancy," she said. "But in space, it's zero gravity, you don't have buoyancy." ...

Kim’s lab sent a second batch of 3D engineered heart tissues to the space station in 2023 to screen for drugs that may protect the cells from the effects of low gravity.
