Shubhanshu Shukla researched bones in ISS, a ray of hope in the treatment of osteoporosis; Know details
Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla has done a bone-related study on the International Space Station (ISS) which can be helpful in the treatment of osteoporosis. On the ISS under the Axiom-4 mission, he studied the effects on bones in microgravity. He is building a digital twin that will be helpful in assessing the health risks of astronauts.
Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla did a bone-related study on the International Space Station (ISS). This research is a ray of hope towards better treatment of bone disease osteoporosis. Shubhanshu has been aboard the ISS since June 26 as part of the Axiom-4 mission.
On Saturday, having earned himself a day off after a week on the ISS, Shubhanshu and the rest of the astronauts from the Axiom-4 mission attempted to discover how bones are impacted in zero gravity or microgravity. How bones weaken in space and how they recover when they get back to Earth.
With the study of biological markers associated with bones, scientists are developing a 'digital twin'. 'Digital twin' is an imaginary model. The model can assist in discovering through data how the bones of the astronaut respond and recover in space. With this method, the health hazards of astronauts will be evaluated, and solutions in advance will be prepared while scheduling future missions.
