Scientists at Scripps Research unveil the effects of microgravity on brain cells. Microgravity is known to affect muscles, ...

Extended space flight ... on using large AI models to rapidly process multimodal animal behaviour data collected by flexible electronic sensors. As well as recording brain activity, the sensors ...

To make the models more comprehensive, the researchers added immune cells called microglia to half of the organoids to observe how the brain’s resident immune system might function in the space ...

"This lays the groundwork for future experiments in space, in which we can include other parts of the brain that are affected by neurodegenerative disease." On Earth, the team used stem cells to ...
