By sending nanoemulsion formulations on a space flight, scientists are investigating whether chitosan—a material derived from shrimp and widely used to control the release of medications—performs well in controlling medicine delivery when exposed to zero gravity. Their preliminary results suggest that drugs needed by astronauts can be delivered effectively in space.
