Nano Antioxidants Experiment Containers in Kubik
iss059e059071 (5/7/2019) --- Photo documentation of the 12 Nano Antioxidants Experiment Containers in Kubik 5 marking the start of the experiment run in the Columbus module aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The aim of the Nano Antioxidants investigation is to research innovative approaches for cellular stimulation to counteract the negative effects of long-term microgravity on the musculoskeletal system. There are numerous possible applications of this research project in other crucial social domains, such as healthcare of the elderly and of people with muscle atrophy disorders, through the implementation of new therapeutic strategies in the treatment of diseases involving oxidative stress as causing factor.
