The Cardiovascular System in Space: Focus on In Vivo and In Vitro Studies
On Earth, humans are subjected to a gravitational force that has been an important determinant in human evolution and function. During spaceflight, astronauts are subjected to several hazards including a prolonged state of microgravity that induces a ...

Automated Methods for Detecting and Quantitation of Enlarged Perivascular spaces on MRI
The brain's glymphatic system is a network of intracerebral vessels that function to remove “waste products” such as degraded proteins from the brain. It comprises of the vasculature, perivascular spaces (PVS), and astrocytes. Poor glymphatic function has been implicated in numerous diseases; however, its contribution is still unknown.

Effects of a Closed Space Environment on Gene Expression in Hair Follicles of Astronauts in the International Space Station. [PDF]
Adaptation to the space environment can sometimes pose physiological problems to International Space Station (ISS) astronauts after their return to earth. Therefore, it is important to develop healthcare technologies for astronauts.

30 years of CNES parabolic flights for the benefit of the scientific community
Parabolic flights allow short microgravity investigations in Physical and Life Sciences, technology and instrumentation tests. The use of parabolic flights is complementary to other microgravity carriers, and preparatory to manned space missions onboard ...

Adjuvant pharmacological strategies for the musculoskeletal system during long‐term space missions
Abstract Despite 2 h of daily exercise training, muscle wasting and bone loss are still present after 6‐month missions to the international space station. Some crew members lose bone much faster than others. In preparation for missions to the Moon and Mars, space agencies are therefore reviewing their countermeasure portfolios.

From space back to Earth: supporting sustainable development with spaceflight technologies
For the past decades spaceflight has been a driver for technology development in various fields, e.g. generation of electrical power, and computers. Human spaceflight missions, require resources typically scarce (e.g.
