- Field
- space
- What they did
- Researchers from Mount Sinai, NASA, and Space Tango launched miniature organs into space to study the effects of radiation and microgravity on them.
- Why it matters
- This will help understand how space conditions accelerate organ aging, which is important for the health of future astronauts and people on Earth.
