Researchers study muscle cell damage that occurs when astronauts return from space

om NASA, Dr. McNeil is using a laser to simulate in a mouse model the tearing that occurs when an astronaut reacquaints with gravity, then documenting the repair process.

"If we can understand at the molecular level how this resealing occurs, we might be able to promote it and, in the case of astronauts or trauma victims or other people with massive muscle damage, we might be able to facilitate the repair or healing process," Dr. McNeil said.
