When SpaceX's 20th resupply mission lifted off to the International Space Station in March 2020, beating heart cells were along for the ride.
After 22 days, the heart cells were returned to Earth -- and they were still beating. The implications of this experiment mark a significant step toward helping heart patients on Earth in the future. The results of this experiment were the subject of a virtual panel discussion Tuesday that CNN obtained exclusive access to -- panel members included NASA astronaut Jessica Meir and researchers from Emory University and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. They were joined by Brody Parker, a former heart patient who will soon celebrate his 11th birthday and his two-year heart transplant anniversary.President Joe Biden on Sunday delivers his first commencement address of the 2024 season at Morehouse College, where the president may for the first time in months have to confront the angst that’s been percolating on college campuses nationwide toward his administration’s policies on the Israel-Hamas war.
