Hydrogels in Simulated Microgravity: Thermodynamics at Play. [PDF]
GelsHydrogels have become indispensable in biomedical research and regenerative therapies due to their high water content, tissue-like mechanics, and tunable biochemical properties. However, their behavior under altered gravitational conditions—particularly simulated microgravity (SMG)—presents a frontier of challenges and opportunities that remain ...

Centrifuges for Microgravity Simulation. The Reduced Gravity Paradigm [PDF]
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2016 Due to the cumbersome nature of performing real microgravity - spaceflight research scientists have been searching for alternatives to perform simulated microgravity or partial gravity experiments on Earth. For more than a century one uses the slow rotating clinostat as developed by von Sachs at the end of the nineteenth century.

Characterization of Human Chondrocytes Exposed to Simulated Microgravity [PDF]
Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2010 Tissue engineering is a strategy of cartilage regeneration, but scaffolds, required for 3D growth of chondrocytes, are still a problem.Searching for possibilities to improve scaffold-free engineering of cartilage, we characterized human chondrocytes incubated on a random positioning machine (RPM) to simulate microgravity (microg).When cultured in ...
