Space Travel Accelerates Muscle Loss Like Aging

Astronauts experience muscle loss in space due to the lack of gravity, a process similar to age-related muscle decline.

While exercise helps, it's not enough, and researchers are seeking drug treatments to combat this issue.

Understanding how microgravity affects muscles is crucial, as space travel becomes more accessible to civilians.

Researchers are using tiny muscle chips in space to study the problem and test potential drugs to prevent and treat muscle loss.
