The Impact of Altered Gravity and Vibration on Endothelial Cells During a Parabolic Flight
Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2013 Background: Endothelial cells (EC) cultured under altered gravity conditions show a cytoskeletal disorganization and differential gene expression (short-term effects), as well as apoptosis in adherently growing EC or formation of tubular 3D structures ...

Anatomical and functional brain approach along short abrupt changes in G-levels [PDF]
, 2016 To conduct experiments under abrupt changes in g-levels, a single-engine aerobatic aircraft has been used, providing 6-8 seconds of reduced gravity, preceded and followed by 5-7 seconds of hypergravity periods.

Diffusive foam wetting process in microgravity
, 2001 We report the experimental study of aqueous foam wetting in microgravity. The liquid fraction $\ell$ along the bubble edges is measured and is found to be a relevant dynamical parameter during the capillary process.

Women in space: A review of known physiological adaptations and health perspectives
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Exposure to the spaceflight environment causes adaptations in most human physiological systems, many of which are thought to affect women differently from men. Since only 11.5% of astronauts worldwide have been female, these issues are largely understudied.

Can Chern-Simons or Rarita-Schwinger be a Volkov-Akulov Goldstone?
, 2018 We study three-dimensional non-linear models of vector and vector-spinor Goldstone fields associated with the spontaneous breaking of certain higher-spin counterparts of supersymmetry whose Lagrangians are of a Volkov-Akulov type.

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Microgravity is associated with stature increases, back pain and post‐flight intervertebral disc (IVD) herniation. This study aims to determine whether 30 s seated 50% body weight (BW) axial loading is comparable to 15 min sitting upright in 1 g upon changes in stature, anterior lumbar IVD height (via ultrasound), passive vertebral stiffness ...

An experimentally informed computational model of neurovestibular adaptation to altered gravity
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Transitions to altered gravity environments result in acute sensorimotor impairment for astronauts, leading to serious mission and safety risks in the crucial first moments in a new setting. Our understanding of the time course and severity of impairment in the early stages of adaptation remains limited and confounded by unmonitored head ...

Hypergravity as a Tool for Cell Stimulation: : Implications in Biomedicine
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2016 Gravity deeply influences numerous biological events in living organisms. Variations in gravity values induce adaptive reactions that have been shown to play important roles, for instance in cell survival, growth, and spatial organization. In this paper,
