huge amounts of special cells that could be used to treat many diseases.</span> <span data-start-time='12167' data-end-time='25146'>The special cells, known as stem cells, arrived on a supply ship recently at the International Space Station for testing in Earth’s orbit.</span> <span data-start-time='25146' data-end-time='34292'>The cells are part of a project led by scientists at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.</span> <span data-start-time='34292' data-end-time='46917'>The researchers are trying to find new ways to make large amounts of stem cells that can produce nearly any other kind of cell in the human body.</span> <span data-start-time='46917' data-end-time='54146'>Researcher Dhruv Sareen’s own stem cells are among those now orbiting the Earth. </span> <span data-start-time='54146' data-end-time='60854'>The goal is to test whether the stem cells will grow better in zero gravity.</span> <span data-start-time='60854' data-end-time='69938'>“I don’t think I would be able to pay whatever it costs now” to take a private ride to space, Sareen said. </span> <span data-start-time='69938' data-end-time='73896'>“At least a part of me in cells can go up!”</span> <span data-start-time='73896' data-end-time='82208'>The experiment is the latest research project that involves sending stem cells into space. </span> <span data-start-time='82208' data-end-time='88333'>Some projects aim to overcome the difficulty of mass producing the cells. </span> <span data-start-time='88333' data-end-time='94250'>Others explore how space travel impacts the cells in the body. </span> <span data-start-time='94250' data-end-time='100750'>And some help scientists better understand diseases such as cancer.</span> </p></div><div class='control-buttons-sticky'
