Space Station Leads to Breakthroughs in Human Health on EarthSpace Station Research Integration Office Jul 23, 2022
(...) Astronauts breathed into the device in the reduced pressure of an airlock to simulate conditions in future habitats on the Moon or Mars. Lead investigator Lars Karlsson of Sweden’s Karolinska Institute hopes that the experiment opens new fields of research in reduced pressure in space. Exhaled nitric oxide measurements also could be used to identify the most effective molecules for use in drugs to treat inflamed airways and lungs.
“One group of experiments that I enjoy most are those where we investigate our own human systems to help people with illnesses on Earth,” says ESA astronaut Alex Gerst, who participated in the Airway Monitoring investigation. “It’s another example of how we need to fly to space to help people down here.” (...)
