The researchers, who published their work in the journal Cell , used a systems approach to look at widespread alterations affecting biological function.
"We started by asking whether there is some kind of universal mechanism happening in the body in space that could explain what we've observed," said senior author Afshin Beheshti, a principal investigator and bioinformatician at KBR in the Space Biosciences Division of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), visiting researcher at the Broad Institute, and co-president at the COVID-19 International Research Team (COV-IRT).

"For the first time, we can see the cellular and molecular changes that may underlie the heart conditions seen in astronaut studies," says Karen Ocorr, Ph.D. , assistant professor in the Development, Aging and Regeneration Program at Sanford Burnham Prebys and co-senior author of the study. "We initiated this study to understand the effects of microgravity on the heart, and now we have a roadmap we can use to start to develop strategies to keep astronaut hearts strong and healthy."

Future of commercial space travel takes flight as SpaceX rocket lifts off
TITUSVILLE, Fla. — SpaceX's first manned commercial flight is underway after a successful launch from Kennedy Space Center on Sunday evening.
Thousands turned out to watch this weekend's follow-up launch from the Space Coast. Some came from across the country.
Rich Sirois drove down from Virginia to snap a few shots with his camera. He was excited to witness history despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and officials urging people to watch online.

Space technology and prepared foods developed for astronauts will also help keep Americans safe this Thanksgiving, as many prepare for a socially distanced family meal.
While the holidays may be a bit different this year, the video cameras used for virtual family dinners stem from tools that were originally developed in part by NASA. In fact, the space agency first modernized conference calling for the purpose of spaceflight, according to a statement from NASA.

Washington, Nov 26 (SocialNews.XYZ) Critical parts of a cell's energy production machinery, the mitochondria, can be made dysfunctional due to space travel, says a study.
The results, published in the journal Cell, are based on studies of both mice and humans who have travelled into space reveal.
"My group's research efforts centred around muscle tissue from mice that were sent into space and were compared with analyses by other scientists who studied different mouse tissue," said Evagelia Laiakis, Associate Professor at Georgetown University Medical Centre in the US.

The Wisconsin election recount is continuing in Milwaukee and Dane counties, but officials say uninformed observers are obstructing the process . It's also slow moving because President Donald Trump's attorneys have been making unsubstantiated claims of fraud . In part, these issues may stem from a bigger issue facing the recount process — rampant misinformation.
This month four astronauts arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) thanks to the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket that launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
