Protocol for generation of multicellular spheroids through reduced gravity [PDF]
STAR Protocols, 2023 Summary: Multicellular spheroids are useful models for drug testing or studying tumor biology, but their production requires specialized approaches. Here, we present a protocol to produce viable spheroids by slow rotation around a horizontal axis using ...

Human muscle activity and lower limb biomechanics of overground walking at varying levels of simulated reduced gravity and gait speeds. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Reducing the mechanical load on the human body through simulated reduced gravity can reveal important insight into locomotion biomechanics. The purpose of this study was to quantify the effects of simulated reduced gravity on muscle activation levels and

Control Strategies of Gecko’s Toe in Response to Reduced Gravity
Applied Sciences, 2020 Shear-induced adhesion is one of the key properties for the gecko moving safely and quickly in a three-dimensional environment. The control strategies of such locomotion strongly relying on adhesion are still not well understood.

Humans running in place on water at simulated reduced gravity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BackgroundOn Earth only a few legged species, such as water strider insects, some aquatic birds and lizards, can run on water. For most other species, including humans, this is precluded by body size and proportions, lack of appropriate appendages, and ...

Large-Scale Crop Production for the Moon and Mars: Current Gaps and Future Perspectives
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 In this perspectives paper, we identify major challenges for space crop production: altered convection in the microgravity environment, scheduling and logistics, crew time and the need for advanced automation, robotics, modeling, and machine learning. We

The Three-Dimensional Body Center of Mass at the Workplace under Hypogravity
Bioengineering, 2023 The center of mass dynamics of the seated posture of humans in a work environment under hypogravity (0 < g < 1) have rarely been investigated, and such research is yet to be carried out.
