Biophysics in Microgravity

Biophysics in microgravity studies how the physical principles affecting living organisms change when gravity is minimal, such as on the International Space Station. In microgravity, processes like cell growth, muscle and bone maintenance, and fluid movement differ from those on Earth due to the absence of gravitational force. This research helps us understand fundamental biological mechanisms and can lead to advancements in medicine, health management for astronauts, and insights into diseases on Earth. Essentially, it explores how life works without gravity's influence, revealing new aspects of biology and physics interactions.
