Microgravity and higher radiation levels in orbit could disrupt cell alignment, gene expression, or organ formation.

Two to three weeks after conception, an embryo faces a critical point in its development. In the stage known as gastrulation, the transformation of embryonic cells into specialized cells begins. This ...
