I've worked together with @astro_timpeake ever since he was appointed @esa astronaut, and it has been an awful lot of fun - and this not the end of that journey! I look forward to seeing what the next chapter bring. Thank you Tim for all your have done, and will do, for UK space.

[Communications Biology @CommsBio]

A C. elegans model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy reveals a potential role for disrupted sulfur metabolism in the disease and thus the therapeutic potential of sulfur amino acid supplementation.

For now, we will be opening up all 24 space-flown experimental cassettes so that we can put all 72 worm-containing bags in the freezer. Our next step will be preparing for analysis #staytuned #wormsinspace #MME2

[MME_spaceworms @worms_space]

We have now opened our first experimental cassette! Here you can see three space-flown bags, which contain the worms in their liquid food 🐛 🦠 #wormsinspace #MME2

[MME_spaceworms @worms_space]

EXCITING NEWS! The MME2 worms have made it back to Earth and are now in the Ohio labs. Here is a picture of one of the experimental cassettes we have removed from the freezer ready for opening. Stay tuned for more updates. #wormsinspace #MME2 @ohiou @spacegovuk @UNAD_Research
