iss074e0518242 (April 23, 2026) --- NASA astronaut and Expedition 74 flight engineer Jessica Meir processes samples of heart stem cells and bacteria that cause pneumonia using a portable glovebag inside the International Space Station's Harmony module. Research in microgravity may give doctors a clearer understanding of how infectious disease processes damage heart tissue at the cellular and molecular level.
