CEA research led by Rebekah Maynard to grow plants with medicinal properties.

The study was designed to identify crops to be used in medical treatments.

Maynard grew compact crops with a short life cycle in a vertical farming environment.

Researchers measured the plants' production of apigenin, a natural anti-inflammatory compound with promising anti-cancer effects.
