Study of histopathological and molecular changes of rat kidney under simulated weightlessness and resistance training protective effect. [PDF]
To explore the effects of long-term weightlessness on the renal tissue, we used the two months tail suspension model to simulate microgravity and investigated the simulated microgravity on the renal morphological damages and related molecular mechanisms.

Artificial Gravity as a Bone Loss Countermeasure in Simulated Weightlessness
The impact of microgravity on the human body is a significant concern for space travelers. We report here initial results from a pilot study designed to explore the utility of artificial gravity (AG) as a countermeasure to the effects of microgravity, specifically to bone loss.

Angelicae dahuricae radix alleviates simulated microgravity induced bone loss by promoting osteoblast differentiation. [PDF]
Bone loss caused by long-duration spaceflight seriously affects the skeletal health of astronauts. There are many shortcomings in currently available treatments for weightlessness-induced bone loss.

Cellular and Molecular Effects of Microgravity on the Immune System: A Focus on Bioactive Lipids. [PDF]
Microgravity is one of the main stressors that astronauts are exposed to during space missions. This condition has been linked to many disorders, including those that feature dysfunctional immune homeostasis and inflammatory damage.

A gravity-independent powder-based additive manufacturing process tailored for space applications [PDF]
The future of space exploration missions will rely on technologies increasing their endurance and self-sufficiency, including for manufacturing objects on-demand. We propose a process for handling and additively manufacturing powders that functions independently of the gravitational environment and with no restriction on feedstock powder flowability ...

Experimental analysis and transient numerical simulation of a large diameter pulsating heat pipe in microgravity conditions [PDF]
A multi-parametric transient numerical simulation of the start-up of a large diameter Pulsating Heat Pipe (PHP) specially designed for future experiments on the International Space Station (ISS) are compared to the results obtained during a parabolic flight campaign supported by the European Space Agency.

Abstract The past two decades have produced extensive evidence on the manifold and severe outcomes for victims of aggression exposure in the workplace. However, due to the dominating individual‐centered approach, most findings miss a social network perspective.

Simulated microgravity affects carrageenan-induced inflammation process in rats [PDF]
Weightlessness significantly impacts physiological systems. In the current study, we investigate the effects of 7 days exposure of rats to simulated microgravity (using a modified rat-modeled random positioning machine, working with four experimental ...

Semi‐supervised classification of fundus images combined with CNN and GCN
Abstract Purpose Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the most serious complications of diabetes, which is a kind of fundus lesion with specific changes. Early diagnosis of DR can effectively reduce the visual damage caused by DR. Due to the variety and different morphology of DR lesions, automatic classification of fundus images in mass screening can ...
