Galactic cosmic radiation induces stable epigenome alterations relevant to...
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... -
Proton irradiation augments the reduction in tumor progression observed with...
Proton irradiation is touted for its improved tumor targeting due to the physical advantages of ion beams for radiotherapy. Recent studies from our laboratory have shown that in... -
Global Identification of Noncoding RNAs in S. cerevisiae
Genome-wide detection of novel non-coding RNAs in S. cerevisiae by modulating an RNase P pathway through the depletion of a component RPP1. Nearly 400,000 36-mer oligonucleotide... -
Gene expression profiling of PBL in response to ionising radiation and...
BACKGROUND: Ionizing radiation (IR) can be extremely harmful for human cells since an improper DNA-damage response (DDR) to IR can contribute to carcinogenesis initiation.... -
Global gene expression analysis highlights microgravity sensitive key genes...
Microgravity as well as chronic muscle disuse are two causes of low back pain originated at least in part from paraspinal muscle deconditioning. At present no study investigated... -
Expression Data from International C. elegans Experiment 1st (ICE-FIRST)
The effect of microgravity on gene expression in C.elegans was comprehensively analysed by DNA microarray (Agilent). Overall design: Mix staged C. elegans N2 was exposed... -
Microgravity effect on C. elegans N2/VC (CERISE 4 days)
Microgravity effect on C. elegans gene expression was analysed by whole genome microarray. The worms were cultivated under microgravity for 4 days in the Japanese Module of the... -
Effects of a Closed Space Environment on Gene Expression in Hair Follicles...
In recent times long-term stay has become a common occurrence in the International Space Station (ISS). However adaptation to the space environment can sometimes pose... -
Low dose (0.04 Gy) irradiation (LDR) and hindlimb unloading (HLU)...
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate damage in brain and eye in a ground-based model for spaceflight which includes prolonged unloading and low-dose radiation. Low-... -
The Heat-Inducible Transcription Factor HsfA2 Enhances Anoxia Tolerance in...
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... -
Synergistic effects of space radiation and microgravity (miRNA WT and dys-mutant)
Space radiations and microgravity both could cause DNA damage in cells but the effects of microgravity on DNA damage response to space radiations are still controversial. A mRNA...
