The high mortality in men with metastatic prostate cancer (PC) establishes the need for
diagnostic optimization by new biomarkers. Mindful of the effect of real microgravity on …

With the increasing number of spaceflights, it is crucial to understand the changes occurring
in human cells exposed to real microgravity (r-µ g) conditions. We tested the effect of r-µ g on …

This Special Issue (SI),“Microgravity and Space Medicine”, covers research articles and
reviews focusing on gravitational biology, cancer research and space medicine. It includes …

With the commercialization of spaceflight and the exploration of space, it is important to
understand the changes occurring in human cells exposed to real microgravity (r-µ g) …

Study of the process of cancer initiation, growth and progression in altered gravity is of
utmost importance considering the health status of researchers visiting in space and future …

Thyroid cancer is the most abundant tumor of the endocrine organs. Poorly differentiated
thyroid cancer is still difficult to treat. Human cells exposed to long-term real (r-) and …

Microgravity or the condition of apparent weightlessness causes bone, muscular and
immune system dysfunctions in astronauts following spaceflights. These organ and system …

Extracellular matrix proteins, adhesion molecules, and cytoskeletal proteins form a dynamic
network interacting with signalling molecules as an adaptive response to altered gravity. An …

Prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer mortality in men worldwide. An
unusual but unique environment for studying tumor cell processes is provided by …

Unlike plants that have special gravity-sensing cells, such special cells in animals are yet to
be discovered. However, microgravity, the condition of apparent weightlessness, causes …
