Redwire successfully brought back its third batch of pharmaceutical drug crystals grown in microgravity. A collaboration with Eli Lilly and Company has led to research showing that insulin crystals grown in space are more orderly and larger than those grown on Earth. This opens new possibilities in discovering drugs for chronic diseases. 🧪
These experiments are made possible thanks to Redwire’s unique PIL-BOX technology, which is being developed to support breakthrough research that could impact the lives of millions. 🌍 Imagine how microgravity could influence the future of medicine! 💊
