News & Updates
Science is back on Earth: NASA's SpaceX CRS-33 has splashed down off Southern California, returning ISS National Lab–sponsored investigations advancing regenerative medicine, advanced materials, space biology, and more.
Highlights include:
• Cedars‑Sinai stem‑cell organoid research to accelerate regenerative therapies.
• ELVIS holographic microscope testing from Portland State University & NASA JPL.
• WFIRM engineered liver tissue studies for future organ replacement.
• Arizona State University research on UV light and biofilm prevention in spaceflight water systems.
• Student projects from Genes in Space and Higher Orbits Go For Launch!

In this issue’s cover story, learn about microbes that hitchhike with astronauts, inhabit the space station, and adapt to the unique conditions there. Other features highlight how wave patterns in vibrating fluids could improve heat removal systems and how researchers are propelling bubbles using light to precisely steer fluids—both of which are critically important for future space missions.
