Nano Antioxidants Experiment Containers in Kubik

iss059e059049 (5/7/2019) --- Canadian Space Agency (CSA) astronaut David Saint-Jacques is photographed during the installation of the Nano Antioxidants Experiment Containers in Kubik 5 aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The aim of the Nano Antioxidants investigation is to research innovative approaches for cellular stimulation to counteract the negative effects of long-term microgravity on the musculoskeletal system. There are numerous possible applications of this research project in other crucial social domains, such as healthcare of the elderly and of people with muscle atrophy disorders, through the implementation of new therapeutic strategies in the treatment of diseases involving oxidative stress as causing factor.
