ABSTRACT Aim The glomerulus is a specialized microvascular unit that filters plasma through the coordinated function of podocytes and parietal epithelial cells (PECs). From this perspective, the glomerulus functions like a living hydrogeological filtration system.

Abstract We evaluated the feasibility and efficacy of a 2‐week training programme comprising resistance vibration exercise (RVE) without and with artificial gravity (AG). Participants (n = 24) were divided into three groups: (i) URVE: upright loaded squat exercise; (ii) HRVE: horizontal loaded squat exercise; and (iii) AGRVE: loaded squat exercise ...

Abstract Prolonged exposure to microgravity, simulated via 6° head‐down tilt bed rest (HDT), induces musculoskeletal deconditioning and negatively impacts body composition. This study evaluated whether a combination of aerobic exercise with artificial gravity (AG) offers superior protection in comparison to exercise alone.

Astex microgravity experiment: simulated asteroid regoliths [PDF]
AstEx is a microgravity experiment selected to fly on ESA's 51st Microgravity Research Campaign in November 2009. The experiment will investigate the dynamics of regolith on asteroid surfaces. Despite their very low surface gravities, asteroids exhibit a number of different geological processes involving granular matter.
