Space Research Revealing New Insights into Heart, Muscles and Stem Cells<\/h2>\n

The Expedition 64<\/a> crew kicked off an array of new space biology experiments delivered this week aboard the SpaceX Cargo Dragon<\/a>. The International Space Station<\/a> residents will be gaining unique insights about the human heart, muscles and stem cells that only microgravity can provide.<\/p>\n

NASA astronaut Kate Rubins<\/a> started looking at cardiovascular cells inside the Life Science Glovebox<\/a> today for the Cardinal Heart<\/a> study. She serviced samples to help scientists understand the aging and weakening of heart muscles to provide new treatments for humans on Earth and astronauts in space.<\/p>\n

Mice are being set up inside specialized habitats today so researchers can continue studying how weightlessness affects the musculoskeletal system<\/a>. NASA Flight Engineers Shannon Walker<\/a>, Victor Glover<\/a> and Michael Hopkins<\/a> removed several dozen rodents from the Cargo Dragon vehicle and placed them inside the U.S. Destiny laboratory module<\/a>. Observations may enable advanced drug delivery systems to treat muscle diseases on Earth and prevent muscle atrophy in space.<\/p>\n

JAXA astronaut Soichi Noguchi<\/a> continued his stem cell research<\/a> today to enable organ growth and understand genetic changes in space. The three-time space visitor viewed cell samples today with a microscope in the Kibo laboratory module<\/a> to benefit organ transplant and regenerative technology.<\/p>\n

Commander Sergey Ryzhikov<\/a> and Flight Engineer Sergey Kud-Sverchkov<\/a> spent Wednesday working on Russian life support systems and science experiments. The duo worked on water transfers and air vent cleaning before setting up hardware to observe Earth\u2019s atmosphere<\/a> at different wavelengths.<\/p>\n
