INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
The Shenzhou-20 astronauts, or taikonauts, will perform 3 brand-new life science experiments, including zebrafish, planarians and
streptomyces, during their remain at the China Space Station, the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) revealed on Wednesday.Zebrafish
experimentBased on the zebrafishElodea double ecosystem developed during the Shenzhou-18 objective, this study will explore how microgravity
impacts protein homeostasis in higher vertebrates
It aims to expose the role of protein homeostasis in managing bone loss and cardiovascular dysfunction triggered by weightlessness crucial
medical difficulties in deep area exploration.Planarian regenerationThis will be Chinas first space-based planarian regrowth experiment
Offered planarians amazing regenerative ability, the study will investigate essential systems of regrowth at the organism level, potentially
adding to the treatment of space-related injuries and other health issues.Streptomyces researchStreptomyces, a type of bacteria, play a
crucial function in soil enhancement, plant development promotion and environment sustainability
This experiment will analyze how area conditions impact the expression of bioactive substances and enzymes with practical worth, laying the
groundwork for establishing microbial applications utilizing space resources.Currently, all space science experiments are advancing steadily
Over 200 scientific and application projects have been performed in orbit so far
At the end of last year, China launched its very first report on clinical research study in its space station, with more findings to be
launched regularly.During their stay, in addition to the experiments pointed out above, the Shenzhou-20 crew will carry out 59 experiments
and technical presentations in areas such as area life sciences, microgravity physical sciences and new area technologies
These include possible advancements in cultivating vascularized brain organoids on chips, checking out the non-equilibrium dynamics of soft
matter, and studying the fabrication of high-temperature superconducting materials in area.(CGTNs Xu Chenlu also contributed to the story.)
