Warum der Weltraum die nächste Grenze zur Beschleunigung der medizinischen Forschung ist

>These new data points will inform researchers studying the body’s response to space, leading to safer space exploration for people of all backgrounds as well as potential health improvements and new medical innovations on Earth.

>Space is an entirely unique testbed for human biology that has yet to be fully explored. While scientists have identified analogs on Earth to some of space’s rigors, data collection during real missions allows us to explore the impact of multiple simultaneous stressors. The extremely limited resource of time in space requires that these studies be both exacting and efficient so that we can better understand the early phase of adaptation to the exposure of space stressors. And through consistent measuring protocols and standards, we can track different people’s responses to the same stressors across independent space missions. This will be key to the discovery of natural resistances to stressors in general and the development of countermeasures to expand human exploration possibilities.
