The new research equipment aims to grow human bone cells on a specially treated rattan‑wood scaffold to simulate osteoporosis in microgravity. Insights from the investigation may lead to advanced treatments for osteoporosis and improved bone‑healing therapies for patients. Credit: ESA/Sophie Adenot
