Q: Why do the Study A: On Earth, this takes years to study if we can accelerate this in microgravity, we can test pharmaceuticals faster, not only to see muscle loss on Earth or in microgravity to help our Astronauts
Q: How is the experiment going to work A: Using a tissue chip system going on a scaffold the way our skeletal muscles are organized. Will look at different time points after a week will preserve the sample to study on Earth.
