title: [Progress in development and application of experimental facilities for life sciences on onboard the International Space Station].
abstract: The construction of the International Space Station (ISS) will be completed soon, and life sciences studies are important tasks to be carried out onboard. Therefore, various related facilities for life science flight experiments are being developed aimed at diverse objectives, and some of them were completed and passed ground-based simulation experiment or airplane parabolic flight tests, and to be arranged for implementation of spaceflight experiments. This article reviews comprehensively the recent progress in the development of various types of related experimental facilities and the onboard experiments, in the hope that it will provide reference for related fields of research.
