Jason Bermas highlights the use of auto-bioluminescent nanotechnology on the ISS to monitor cell health for drug development. He references "Luciferase" and previous experiments with bioluminescent pigs to illustrate the long history of genetically modified organisms. Bermas argues that these technologies allow cells to "talk" to researchers, aiding in the creation of new pharmaceuticals in microgravity.
