I think that this study is extremely interesting. It's odd to think that space doesn't have an affect on cell shape, yet a humans heart changes shape. I also think that this study is extremely beneficial to science because it would be the start of many more experiments and research to come. It was
said that astronauts have an increase risk in (iPSC/Cardiomyoctyes)
cardiovascular disease. Looking at the cells and
the changes they undergo could be very beneficial
in finding out why they are at an increased risk as well as possibly finding a solution to that problem.
