The Rodent Research-23 investigation, worked on above by Walker, makes valuable contributions to biomedicine. This work examined the effects of microgravity on veins, arteries, and lymphatic structures of the eye, which helps address visual impairment issues from Spaceflight-Associated Neuro-ocular Syndrome (SANS). Over 40% of astronauts experience SANS during long-duration missions.
