Space is an extreme environment for the human body, where during long-term missions
microgravity and high radiation levels represent major threats to crew health. Intriguingly …

All life forms have evolved under the constant force of gravity on Earth and developed ways
to counterbalance acceleration load. In space, shear forces, buoyance-driven convection …

Cancer is a disease exhibiting uncontrollable cell growth and spreading to other parts of the
organism. It is a heavy, worldwide burden for mankind with high morbidity and mortality …

A lack of gravity experienced during space flight has been shown to have profound effects
on human physiology including muscle atrophy, reductions in bone density and immune …

Microgravity (µ g) has a massive impact on the health of space explorers. Microgravity
changes the proliferation, differentiation, and growth of cells. As crewed spaceflights into …

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 …

Experiments conducted in the microgravity environment of space are not typically at the
forefront of the mind of a cancer biologist. However, space provides physical conditions that …

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 …

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is one of the most aggressive malignant brain tumors and
urgently requires the development of new therapeutic strategies. In this study, an innovative …
