ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut and Expedition 70 Commander Andreas Mogensen operates a microscope inside the International Space Station’s Destiny laboratory module.

He was capturing imagery of brain cell-like samples for the Cerebral Ageing space biology study that is exploring the degenerative processes of brain cells.

Results may provide insights into accelerated ageing symptoms seen in space and neurodegenerative diseases experienced on Earth.
