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.

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

An update on pacemaking in the myometrium
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend The spread of multiple electrical signals (panel A, blue‐to‐red indicates increasing electrical excitability) that are spatiotemporally distinct, yet in‐phase with the excitatory episode, determines action potential shape and form (panel B, as recorded by single cell microelectrodes) and ensures contractile amplitude and duration

MECHANISMS OF DISEASE Acute Oxygen-Sensing Mechanisms [PDF]
, 2005 JOSEPH PRIESTLEY, ONE OF THE THREE SCIENTISTS CREDITED WITH THE discovery of oxygen, described the death of mice that were deprived of oxygen. However, he was also well aware of the toxicity of too much oxygen, stating, “For as a candle burns much faster

Intense myocyte formation from cardiac stem cells in human cardiac hypertrophy [PDF]
, 2003 It is generally believed that increase in adult contractile cardiac mass can be accomplished only by hypertrophy of existing myocytes. Documentation of myocardial regeneration in acute stress has challenged this dogma and led to the proposition that ...

Targeting protein–protein interactions within the cyclic AMP signaling system as a therapeutic strategy for cardiovascular disease [PDF]
, 2013 The cAMP signaling system can trigger precise physiological cellular responses that depend on the fidelity of many protein–protein interactions, which act to bring together signaling intermediates at defined locations within cells.

Left: a schematic of cardiac tissue showing cardiomyocytes, fibroblasts, adipocytes, inflammatory cells and the coagulation system. Right: direct and indirect cross‐talk between different cell types, with the impact of direct cross‐talk on action potential (

Combined TRPC3 and TRPC6 blockade by selective small-molecule or genetic deletion inhibits pathological cardiac hypertrophy [PDF]
, 2014 Chronic neurohormonal and mechanical stresses are central fea-tures of heart disease. Increasing evidence supports a role forthe transient receptor potential canonical channels TRPC3 andTRPC6 in this pathophysiology.

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Overview of multiscale cardiac remodelling in type 2 diabetes and how to model and simulate these changes using a human‐based, multiscale computational framework. Cardiac remodelling in type 2 diabetes occurs at ionic channel, protein, cellular, tissue and whole‐organ level, affecting the electrophysiological function, mechanical
