Description: 2021-01-31 – The Canadian experiment MARROW, conducted on the International Space Station, studied how bone marrow (the spongy tissue inside bones) and the blood cells it produces change in space. The study produced interesting results that help us better understand space anemia. MARROW’s findings suggest that further research is needed to fully understand spaceflight-related anemia. Mitigating strategies, like an adapted diet, may be necessary for crews embarking on longer missions. #Anemia #Space Credits: Canadian Space Agency, NASA, The Ottawa Hospital / University of Ottawa Version française : youtu.be/H1X__9IvDys ----------------------------------------------------------------- 👉 MARROW: asc-csa.gc.ca/eng/sciences/marrow.asp 👉 What’s new: asc-csa.gc.ca/whats-new 👉 Blogs: asc-csa.gc.ca/blog 👉 Website: asc-csa.gc.ca -----------------------------------------------------------------
