Measuring Intracellular Viscosity in Conditions of Hypergravity [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2019 Gravity-sensitive cellular responses are regularly observed in both specialized and nonspecialized cells. One potential mechanism for this sensitivity is a changing viscosity of the intracellular organelles. Here, we report a novel, to our knowledge, viscosity-sensitive molecular rotor based on mesosubstituted boron-dipyrrin used to investigate the ...

Case Report: No Evidence of Intracranial Fluid Shifts in an Astronaut Following an Aborted Launch
Frontiers in Neurology, 2021 Spaceflight induces lasting enlargement of the brain's ventricles as well as intracranial fluid shifts. These intracranial fluid shifts have been attributed to prolonged microgravity exposure, however, the potential effects of hypergravity exposure ...

Hypersymmetry bounds and three-dimensional higher-spin black holes [PDF]
, 2015 We investigate the hypersymmetry bounds on the higher spin black hole parameters that follow from the asymptotic symmetry superalgebra in higher-spin anti-de Sitter gravity in three spacetime dimensions.

Impacts of the Spaceflight to the Immune System
Hanggong uju uihakoeji, 2021 Changes the gravity has a significant affect on the immune system. Astronauts experience the gravity changing during spaceflight, especially when launching and landing they experience hypergravity, and during spaceflight they feel microgravity.

A firmer understanding of the effect of hypergravity on thyroid tissue: cholesterol and thyrotropin receptor. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Maintaining a good health requires the maintenance of a body homeostasis which largely depends on correct functioning of thyroid gland. The cells of the thyroid tissue are strongly sensitive to hypogravity, as already proven in mice after returning to ...

Microgravity and Hypergravity Induced by Parabolic Flight Differently Affect Lumbar Spinal Stiffness
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 The objective of this study was to determine the response of the lumbar spinal motor control in different gravitational conditions. This was accomplished by measuring indicators of lumbar motor control, specifically lumbar spinal stiffness, activity of ...
