Biological experiments performed in space crafts like space stations, space shuttles, and
recoverable satellites has enabled extensive spaceflight life investigations (SLIs). In …

China has prepared for construction of a space station by the early 2020s. The mission will
require astronauts to stay on the space station for at least 180 days. Microbes isolated from …

For long-duration space missions, it is critical to maintain health-associated homeostasis
between astronauts and their microbiome. To achieve this goal it is important to more fully …

Several studies have been undertaken with the goal of understanding how bacterial
transcriptomes respond to the human spaceflight environment. However, these experiments …

The response of microorganisms to the spaceflight environment has tremendous
implications for the risk of infectious disease for astronauts. Seminal studies using …

Alzheimer's disease (AD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) share the common hallmark of insulin
resistance. It is conjectured that receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) play definitive roles in the …

Bioengineering solutions to human space travel must consider microgravity as an important
component. Thus, one of the fundamental challenges of space bioengineering is to create …

Although clinostats have long been used in space microbiology studies as ground-based
analogs of spaceflight, few studies to date have systematically compared-omics data from …

When humans go to space, they take their microbes with them. Microbiomes benefit many
aspects of human health, but little is known about how spaceflight affects the physiology of …

Recent years have seen a renewed interest in longer manned spaceflight missions back to
the Moon and eventually Mars. In order to investigate the effect of spaceflight on bacteria …
