Parkinson’s disease affects more than 5 million people on Earth. Research on the International Space Station could provide insight into this chronic neurodegenerative disease and help scientists find ways to treat and prevent it. In this video, NASA astronaut Serena Auñon-Chancellor narrates as European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Alexander Gerst uses a microscope to examine and photograph the LRRK2 crystals.

I’m 70 years old how can I get some crystals.….just kidding I just love NASA.…..
I just went outside and saw the ISS fly overhead. It’s a beautiful sight, I thought back to this video and reminded myself that there are people up there working for all of mankind, and I gave them a wave. Godspeed ISS!
What is the gravity on the ISS?
That’s awesome!
Parkinsons disease: you will never find the cure not on the entire planet!
Nasa: Hold my Crystal
I take care of a Parkinsons patient daily. Thank you so much for your work astronauts!
I would love some pictures of these crystals from that space microscope, NASA. Please.
What if they get bad wifi? Does the connection ever drop?
Why is there any dislikes?
What do you do for a living?.…
Oh, I fly around in space in micro gravity trying to cure Parkinson’s disease… You?.….
.….
So… how do these crystals have anything to do with parkinsons? Do those crystals form in people’s brain?
Bon courage nasa
My question is is your experiment because you’re in space or is it because the oxygen levels inside where you’re growing the experimental crystals what is the oxygen level compared to Earth’s oxygen level
Área 51, Naruto run
How fasinating.
Try finding a cure for cancer
You guys are amazing!!!
How fast does it take for you to send pictures to the ground? My uploading on a brand new phone to my friends phone next to me takes about 2mins. Thats too long if you want to send multiple pictures. Yet i reckon you could send 10 pictures a second…
We are.going to gave Satellites, Owned by either nations or Company’s, all over the place!
Mostly for Production of Low Gravity Goods.
Would be another good excuse ti clean up the Orbiting Space Junk as well. At that would open up Launch windows.
Wow! Thank you so much. 🙂
Hear me out, if we put a flag on the moon why haven’t they snapped a picture for an anniversary picture… I mean we can see galaxies light years away right ? Not the flag on the moon ?
When I was in high school I did an experiment with the Texas Space Grant Consortium in Houston on protein crystallization as part of an essay contest and I always wondered what kinds of things they were going to be used for. Thank you for posting this!
Inhibiting Parkinson’s with Cannabis is astronomically cheaper 🤷♂️🌠
Why’s alex beard looking so fantastic? Never knew there were Barbers on the space station
When you search in science, there are so many people who suffer from this illness only 10 % of the people on Earth do really get the new medicine from there healthcare program, Maby we must say if you wane use our space station that is pay from all the people, that medicines discover on the international space station should be available to all people, not just 10% who can pay the new medicine,.….
Hahahahaa do me a favour
Share The UFO file
Science is so fantastic and an important good of humanity. Thank you for this great research and space exploration!
It’s not just for fun, but for health, technological development, education, and of course curiosity. I really hope for a better funding and much more space missions.
Your cable management is terrible 😛
Absolutely fascinating! If this works and you get a cure for such a cruel disease, those naysayers will not have a single toe, let alone a leg to stand on. I think the space programmes (whether it’s NASA, ESA or any of the growing number of countries with them) are worth every penny that is spent on them, but developing new and top-quality drugs will make them even more valuable. Good luck!
who downvotes something like this, wtf?
So science right? Why do u look nervous
🙂
怎麼不敢直接帶我去看你們的所謂的太空,假的你們必須公開告知所有人,真的提出條件,一段時間的話則代表你們又做假。
Morally objectionable as this may sound, let’s consider: if Parkinson’s effects only 5 million people worldwide, a mere 0.0007% of the population, is this disease receiving attention & research funding disproportionate to its prevalence in the community? I mean, barring the occasional Michael J. Fox-type statistical aberration, aren’t the majority of that 0.00007% chronologically advanced & near death anyway?
What a time to be alive. Keep up the great work NASA.
Inspiring… Never give up! No limits! Great video and discussion 👍
This is a really satisfying explanation. I often feel that some of the experiments done on the ISS are poorly explained, e.g. “We want to understand how the blah blah process works in microgravity”, but never explains how microgravity has any relevance to the blah blah process on Earth. This was super simple: crystals grow bigger or more easily in microgravity.
Never stop searching and being curious ..Thanks NASA!💚
0:56 It’s neat to see the regular ol’ crystallization plates you’d see in any crystallography lab. It makes it feel like NASA are real people and not just 23rd century wizards.
Science. Better than prayer
Why do they send women there? It is a joke and a waste of money.
