## Caption

Astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli uses a portable glovebag to service components inside the BioFabrication Facility (BFF), a biological printer that is testing the printing of organ-like tissues in microgravity.

The BFF was created as a part of a larger plan to manufacture whole human organs in space since microgravity provides a potential solution to printing complex organ structures. The BFF payload could become a part of a larger system capable of manufacturing whole, fully-functioning human organs from existing patient cells.
