A large body of evidence indicates that single cells in vitro respond to changes in gravity,
and that this response might play an important role for physiological changes at the …

Tissue engineering in simulated (s-) and real microgravity (r-μ g) is currently a topic in Space
medicine contributing to biomedical sciences and their applications on Earth. The principal …

The endothelial cells (ECs), which line the inner surface of vessels, play a fundamental role
in maintaining vascular integrity and tissue homeostasis, since they regulate local blood flow …

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 …

Microgravity induces changes in the cytoskeleton. This might have an impact on cells and
organs of humans in space. Unfortunately, studies of cytoskeletal changes in microgravity …

Exposure to microgravity generates alterations that are similar to those involved in age‐
related diseases, such as cardiovascular deconditioning, bone loss, muscle atrophy, and …

This study focuses on the effects of short‐term [22 s, parabolic flight campaign (PFC)] and
long‐term (10 d, Shenzhou 8 space mission) real microgravity on changes in cytokine …

How microgravity affects the biology of human cells and the formation of 3D cell cultures in
real and simulated microgravity (r‐and s‐µg) is currently a hot topic in biomedicine. In r‐and …

Many cell types form three-dimensional aggregates (MCS; multicellular spheroids), when
they are cultured under microgravity. MCS often resemble the organ, from which the cells …

Human follicular thyroid cancer cells were cultured in Space to investigate the impact of
microgravity on 3D growth. For this purpose, we designed and constructed a cell container …
