Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) or thermal hysteresis (TH) proteins are biomolecular gifts of
nature to sustain life in extremely cold environments. This family of peptides, glycopeptides …

Efficient generation of cardiomyocytes from human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs)
is important for their application in basic and translational studies. Space microgravity can …

In microgravity, cells undergo profound changes in their properties. However, how human
cardiac progenitors respond to space microgravity is unknown. In this study, we evaluated …

Introduction: Space travel imposes significant gravitational and radiation stress on both
cellular and systemic physiology, resulting in myriad cardiovascular changes that have not …

Bioprinting in space is the next frontier in tissue engineering. In the absence of gravity, novel
opportunities arise, as well as new challenges. The cardiovascular system needs particular …

Earth's biodiversity is increasingly threatened and at risk. We propose a passive lunar
biorepository for long-term storage of prioritized taxa of live cryopreserved samples to …

Cardiomyocytes derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC-CMs) possess
tremendous advantage for cardiac regeneration. However, cell survival is challenging upon …

Spaceflight and prolonged exposure to microgravity and radiation significantly impact
human cardiovascular physiology, both in the short and long term. Astronauts experience …
