This new funding will support LambdaVision's development of the first protein-based artificial retina to restore meaningful vision for patients who are blind or have lost significant sight due to advanced retinitis pigmentosa (RP), with follow-on applications in age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of blindness for adults over 55 years old.
NASA Selects Proposals for In-Space Development of Optical Fibers, Stem Cells and More
April 10, 2020 April 9, 2020 News 0
WASHINGTON (NASA PR) — Removing the force of gravity from development processes can lead to products that are higher quality, have fewer defects, and are more effective than when developed on Earth. Companies are demonstrating these improved results can be achieved in the unique microgravity environment on the International Space Station (ISS), which orbits about 250 miles above the planet.
The research opportunities that have demonstrated the unique market value of in-space manufacturing, technology advancement and drug development have come through NASA's investment in dedicating transportation and research time for ISS National Lab investigations.

Space Tango, Partners to Conduct Hemp Research on Space Station
October 6, 2018 October 5, 2018 News 0
Space Tango is team with Atalo Holdings and Anavii Market to conduct research on hemp seeds aboard the International Space Station.
"The venture will explore the various aspects of hemp, but particularly those associated with biomedical and health uses, focusing on enhancing hemp's applications, efficacy and value," Anavii Market said in a post on its website.
"When we send plants to the International Space Station, we eliminate one core, constant force, to which plants are well-adapted – gravity," said Dr. Joe Chappell, a member of the Space Tango Science Advisory Team.
"When plants are 'stressed,' they pull from a genetic reservoir to produce compounds that allow them to adapt and survive," he added. "Understanding how plants react in an environment where the traditional stress of gravity is removed can provide new insights into how adaptations come about and how researchers might take advantage of such changes for the discovery of new characteristics, traits, biomedical applications and efficacy."
Space Tango is spinning off as yet-unnamed company to conduct microgravity research on hemp and other plants.
