Angiex Cancer Therapy in Space

Did you ever see a cancer experiment up close? Here’s your chance: watch as Flight Engineer Serena Auñón-Chancellor works with the Angiex Cancer Therapy experiment in the International Space Station’s Destiny laboratory module. Auñón-Chancellor gives us a look as she grows and examines endothelial cells, which are important in the human body’s blood supply system. Scientists want to know if the space-grown cells can improve testing methods for drugs which are aimed at choking off blood supply to cancerous tumors in the body.
