Shubhanshu Shukla Health Update: Astronaut Shukla and his team will perform scientific tasks for the next 14 days in the International Space Station (ISS).
According to a recent study, simulated microgravity can be used for development of stem cell structures for drug testing, instead of animal models.
New measures to tackle infections suffered by astronauts during space flights have been suggested by scientists in the US. Microgravity is known to weaken the astronaut's immune system in some ways while it also increases the virulence and anti-microbial resistance of some micro-organisms, the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases reports.
