The study discovered that early-stage human reproductive cells don't grow or develop as well in space as they do on Earth.
Specifically, the success rate of generating the earliest precursor germ cells is reduced by nearly 50% in microgravity conditions.
Also, early sperm-producing cells multiply over 25% more slowly than their Earth-bound counterparts.
