Major medical cannabis research project announced by Glass Pharms and the James Hutton Institute

Technology tamfitronics Glass Pharms and the Advanced Plant Growth Centre at The James Hutton Institute are to conduct a ground-breaking medical cannabis research program that has been funded by UKRI’s Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC). The three-year project will aim to support the growing need for medicinal cannabis by helping standardise the product to meet pharmaceutical quality though environment manipulation and the development of new cannabis plant architectures.Currently cannabis varieties, or cultivars, vary greatly creating different cannabinoid profiles. The research in Dundee will aim to use Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) technologies to create a consistent product and help the UK to maintain its position as the world's largest producer and exporter of medicinal cannabis.The plants will be grown to maturity at Glass Pharms’ purpose-built 2.4-hectare semi-closed glasshouse facility that has advanced sensor technology...

NASA’s SpaceX Crew-8 Concludes Space Station Scientific Mission

Technology tamfitronics NASA astronauts Michael Barratt, Matthew Dominick, and Jeanette Epps and Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin are returning to Earth after months aboard the International Space Station conducting scientific experiments and technology demonstrations for the agency’s SpaceX Crew-8 mission. The four launched on March 3 aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.Here’s a look at some scientific milestones accomplished during their mission:NASA astronaut Jeanette Epps extracts DNA for the Genomic Enumeration of Antibiotic Resistance in Space experiment, which surveys the station for antibiotic-resistant organisms and sequences their DNA to examine adaptations to space. Results could support development of measures to protect astronauts and people in buildings and facilities on Earth, such as hospitals, from resistant bacteria.NASA astronaut Mike Barratt processes samples for Human Brain Organoid Models for Neurodegenerative Disease &...
