I made a video about my #spacecell research and how I'm decoding how microgravity changes life at the tiniest level! 🚀🧬

Help me find the answer to the ultimate question of the world, the universe, and everything…! 🌌42❓

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. 🔬✨

Your brain cells juggle thousands of tasks every second - pretty overworked! 🧠 What if we stress them even more...and send them to #space?🚀

In #microgravity, their #metabolism shifts completely. We study this to learn how our brain adapts to extreme environments!

Planning to hitchhike across the galaxy? Your body may not be on board...

In #microgravity, muscles weaken, bones shrink, and brain cells change. 🧠

I study how neural #stemcells respond to spaceflight to make your future trip less damaging. 🛰️

🧪👩‍🔬 Hi! I'm Lucie, a PhD student in Analytical Chemistry, exploring what happens inside cells when we send them to #space! 🚀🧬 I use a method called #massspectrometry to do this.

Never heard of it? #Don'tpanic!
Join me on my mission through space and time - I'll explain it all!🌌
