British startup Mass Balance has launched a small, autonomous laboratory into orbit via a SpaceX transporter. The experiment aims to collect data on cell growth and protein behavior in microgravity, which could improve AI models like Google's AlphaFold. This data is intended to help researchers better understand and develop treatments for age-related diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's by overcoming limitations of Earth-based studies like convection and sedimentation.
