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 …

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 …

Glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) play an important role in the invasive nature of glioblastoma
(GBM); yet, the mechanisms driving this behavior are poorly understood. To recapitulate …

Modifications of the composition or organization of the cancer cell membrane seem to be a
promising targeted therapy. This approach can significantly enhance drug uptake or …

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in females. The incidence has risen
dramatically during recent decades. Dismissed as an “unsolved problem of the last century” …

Microgravity in space or simulated by special ground-based devices provides an unusual
but unique environment to study and influence tumour cell processes. By investigating …

Simple Summary The main aim of this study was to investigate whether all-glass Lab-on-a-
Chip (LOC) platforms can be applied to cancer cell research performed under simulated …

In this review article, we discuss the current state of knowledge in cancer research under
real and simulated microgravity conditions and point out further research directions in this …
