Une nouvelle façon de faire pousser des muscles (à défaut de pousser la fonte ️). L’expérience Cardinal Muscle est arrivée avec le cargo Cygnus. Elle sert à étudier comment le tissu musculaire artificiel se forme dans l'espace, et à mieux comprendre pourquoi la masse musculaire diminue avec l’âge . Saviez-vous qu’on en pert environ 30% entre 20 et 80 ans ? Le corps des astronautes subit une perte similaire lors d’une séjour dans l’espace, mais beaucoup plus rapidement. C’est entre autres pour ralentir le processus qu’on fait 2h de sport par jour... Et c’est pour cette même raison que la Station spatiale internationale est un des laboratoires les plus indiqués pour développer de nouveaux médicaments contre ce phénomène 💪💪

A new way to build muscle ️ or a very cool flex. The Cardinal Muscle experiment arrived with Cygnus to study how engineered muscle tissue forms in space and help us better understand age-related muscle loss known as sarcopenia. #DYK between ages 20-80 we all lose around 30% of our muscle mass? Astronauts experience a similar but accelerated process in space, which is why you see us hitting the gym for two hours a day up here. It's also why the International Space Station is a good place to test new drugs that could help slow down this process 💪💪

Here we see the sarcomere units in the muscle tissue (red) of a mouse that was injected with a regenerative nanofiber matrix (blue). The nanofibers were injected with a micro-manipulating device that allows us to align the nanofibers parallel to the muscle tissue. The alignment of nanofibers allows proliferating cells to match the organization of the neighboring muscle thus accelerating the healing process after injury.

Mustang inspired Muscle car
Ford Mustang inspired modern muscle car. My first build that combines rear wheels and fenders from Lego Speed Champions and front wheels and fenders from Lego City.
A full lego mini figure fits inside, but the driver compartment is even tinier than that of the Ferrari racer. To pull off the long hood and upright windscreen without compromising the car's lines, the arms and legs had go underneath the windscreen. There is no room for a steering wheel. But who cares, it's muscle!
