To study #spacecells, we break them open and dissolve thousands of #metabolites inside them.

Then, #massspectrometry acts like a super-smart detective — sorting molecules by weight and charge to identify them.

This helps us decode how space changes cells at the molecular level. 🔬🕵️‍♀️✨

What happens inside neurons after a trip to #space? 🧠🚀

The answer is in molecules called #metabolites — sugars, fats & amino acids that keep cells alive. Think of them as cell's fuel and exhaust.

By comparing #spacecells vs controls, we see how space changes the engine of life. 🔬✨
