Microgravity conditions offer unique advantages for various [[biotechnology]] applications.
[[Protein crystallization]] in space often results in larger, more well-ordered crystals compared to those grown on Earth. These high-quality crystals are valuable for [[structural biology]] studies and drug design.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=DeLucas |first1=L. J. |last2=Smith |first2=C. D. |last3=Smith |first3=H.
