How can we build a device that suspends cardiac cells and helps them combine into more complex tissues? That’s the role of Ezgi Çevik on our @horizoneu.bsky.social project! At the @merln-um.bsky.social, she is developing a magneto-acoustic system that creates precise balancing points. 🔊 🧲 #EUeic

#Microgravity can change cardiovascular function and accelerate ageing-like changes in cells and tissues. But it can also be used to create better ways to protect people from its effects. 🌌🫀 Our coordinator, Lorenzo Moroni, explains how our @horizoneu.bsky.social plans to do it.
