#DYK bone marrow is one of the organs most sensitive to radiation? AVATAR heading to deep space will contain bone marrow cells from @NASAArtemis II crew. Insights could advance personalized medicine, for both astronauts in space and patients on Earth. go.nasa.gov/4m5dGH9

Wait is NASA actually about to start doing things to improve the lives of average people again? Seems like for the last 30-50 years that unless you were a scientist with a $500k piece of lab equipment you've not benefitted at all from NASA research. I can only hope
AVATAR exemplifies how space pushes medicine forward: what protects explorers today could heal patients tomorrow.
Scientists and experts could work on easing the impact of gravitational forces in space(body would gradually be kneaded as time in space increases). … Human cells in radiation? 🤔(curious)
Expose human cells to radiation in space? O-M-G~~~(different celestial body has the unique environmental properties, like gravitational acceleration, rotational speed/angle, temperature, atmosphere, humidity and magnetic fields, …) … How data in space be applied to cases here?
Fascinating study, sending bone marrow cells into deep space could teach us a lot about protecting astronauts and improving treatments on Earth.
From space to personalized medicine, AVATARs are taking science to the next level.🚀
