Human deep space and planetary travel is limited by uncertainties regarding the health risks associated with exposure to galactic cosmic radiation (GCR) and in particular the...

Using diamagnetic levitation we have exposed A. thaliana in vitro callus cultures to five environments with different levels of effective gravity (from levitation i.e. simulated...

Prolonged skeletal unloading through bedrest results in bone loss similar to that observed in elderly osteoporotic patients but with an accelerated timeframe. This rapid effect...

The Rodent Research-3 (RR-3) mission was sponsored by the pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly and Co. and the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space to study the...

The purpose of this project was to determine the effects of chronic exposure to unpredictable mild socio-environmental stressors during gestation on the TCR-beta repertoire of...

A recent physiological study established that hindlimb unloading of rats at 3 and 7 weeks inhibits healing of injured ligaments resulting in a badly aligned discontinuous...

This study investigated the interplay between the microbial community of the International Space Station and its crew. Environmental samples were collected from 8 habitable...

Prolonged skeletal unloading through bedrest results in bone loss similar to that observed in elderly osteoporotic patients but with an accelerated timeframe. This rapid effect...

The present study concerns the effects of 21 days of sustained recumbence (bedrest) and hypoxia alone and in combination on skeletal muscle microRNA expression. 14 male subjects...

Bacillus pumilus SAFR-032 was originally isolated from the Jet Propulsion Lab Spacecraft Assembly Facility and thoroughly characterized for its enhanced resistance to UV...

Larvae-Pupae transition flies (Drosophila) were recovered and transport for 3 days at 12-14C to arrest development until the launch site then exposed to RT (18-20C) for some...

Anoxia induces several heat shock proteins and a heat pre-treatment can acclimatize Arabidopsis seedlings to a subsequent anoxic treatment. In this work we analyzed the response...
