This review finds that short-term simulated microgravity offers a novel, non-invasive approach to treating degenerative disc disease (DDD) and aiding sports recovery. It works by rehydrating discs, ...

Scientists have discovered how living cells may respond and adapt to the near weightlessness experienced in space. The discovery could help protect astronauts from the adverse health risks associated ...

A recent study by University of Florida Health scientists, published in the journal Biomedicines, reveals a space oddity — ...

A San Diego high school senior is a finalist in the prestigious Regeneron Science Talent Search competition for her research ...

Research on microbial responses to simulated microgravity has revealed profound alterations in growth, metabolism, gene expression and community dynamics. In space environments, the modified ...

Crystallization studies conducted in space laboratories, which are costly and unaffordable for most research laboratories, showed the valuable effects of microgravity during the crystal growth process ...

Simulated effects of microgravity, created by 60 days of constant bed rest, severely disrupts rhythmic gene expression in humans, according to a new study. Simulated effects of microgravity, created ...

Researching the immune system in space could have payoffs for human aging on earth. Scientists have revealed how the lack of gravity affects the cells of the immune system at single cell resolution.

Simulated effects of microgravity, created by 60 days of constant bed rest, severely disrupts rhythmic gene expression in humans, according to a new study from the University of Surrey. Astronauts ...
