Space Travel's Hidden Cost: Muscle Loss

Spending time in space weakens astronauts' muscles because they don't have to work against gravity.

This muscle loss is similar to what happens as we age, and it makes it harder for astronauts to move around.

Scientists are using tiny chips with muscle cells to study how space affects our bodies and find ways to prevent muscle loss.

This research could help not only astronauts but also people on Earth who are struggling with muscle problems.
