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 …

A large body of evidence indicates that single cells in vitro respond to changes in gravity,
and that this response might play an important role for physiological changes at the …

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 …

It has always been a desire of mankind to conquest Space. A major step in realizing this
dream was the completion of the International Space Station (ISS). Living there for several …

All organisms on Earth have evolved to survive within the pull of gravity. Orbital space flights
have clearly demonstrated that the absence or the reduction of gravity profoundly affects …

Since astronauts and cosmonauts have significant bone loss in microgravity we
hypothesized that there would be physiological changes in cellular bone growth and …

The weightlessness or microgravity, a physical factor in space, may adversely affect the
health of the space travellers or astronauts. The knowledge about the effect of microgravity …
