Chennai, July 7 -- Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla has successfully completed the microgravity experiment involving Tardigrades onboard the ISS.
The study focused on their survival, revival, and reproductive behaviour in space.
This study will provide valuable insights into the underlying biological mechanisms leading to resilience of extremophile organisms in microgravity environment and has potential applications
on Earth especially in the area of therapeutics, ISRO said in an update.
About the ongoing Human Physiology and Biological Investigations, it said the Myogenesis study, which explores the effects of microgravity on human muscle regeneration, is progressing with planned interventions and recording of observations as per th...
