According to the National Institutes of Health, hand trauma is a common condition that may affect an individual’s physical, functional and emotional well-being.
One quarter of the brain’s motor cortex is dedicated to moving the hand muscles.

Joining the doctor is John Chevier, a hand surgery patient.
Then we hand it off to space exploration, with a look at a new astrobiotech hub that uses low-Earth orbit for groundbreaking stem cell research.
