NASA Studies Bone Loss in Mice Aboard ISS

NASA is conducting studies on mice aboard the International Space Station (ISS) to understand bone loss in space. This research aims to determine the effects of zero gravity on bone density. Findings indicate that bones can be damaged in space, but not all bones are affected equally. NASA hopes these insights will aid in preparing for future missions, as bone loss poses health risks to astronauts during extended space travel. Research shows bone damage is 10 times faster in space than on Earth.
