Mental imagery of object motion in weightlessness
Mental imagery represents a potential countermeasure for sensorimotor and cognitive dysfunctions due to spaceflight. It might help train people to deal with conditions unique to spaceflight.

Elevated level of cholesterol is positively correlated to prostate cancer development and disease severity. Cholesterol‐lowering drugs, such as statins, are demonstrated to inhibit prostate cancer. VNPP433‐3β interrupts multiple signaling and metabolic pathways, including cholesterol biosynthesis, AR‐mediated transcription of several oncogenes, mRNA 5′

Human gut microbiome and metabolite dynamics under simulated microgravity
The Artificial Gravity Bed Rest – European Space Agency (AGBRESA) study was the first joint bed rest study by ESA, DLR, and NASA that examined the effect of simulated weightlessness on the human body and assessed the potential benefits of artificial ...

Evaluation of synaptotagmin‐1 action models by all‐atom molecular dynamics simulations
We used molecular dynamics simulations to test models proposing that synaptotagmin‐1 facilitates membrane fusion by perturbing lipid bilayers, inducing membrane curvature and/or bridging membranes. The simulations show that synaptotagmin‐1 C2‐domains placed near the site of fusion hinder the ability of SNARE complexes to bring the membranes together ...

Billiard dynamics of bouncing dumbbell [PDF]
A system of two masses connected with a weightless rod (called dumbbell in this paper) interacting with a flat boundary is considered. The sharp bound on the number of collisions with the boundary is found using billiard techniques. In case, the ratio of masses is large and the dumbbell rotates fast, an adiabatic invariant is obtained.

We show that the perverse t-structure induces a t-structure on the category $\mathcal{D}^A(S,\mathbb{Z}_\ell)$ of Artin $\ell$-adic complexes when $S$ is an excellent scheme of dimension less than $2$ and provide a counter-example in dimension $3$. The heart $\mathrm{Perv}^A(S,\mathbb{Z}_\ell)$ of this t-structure can be described explicitly in terms ...

On the shape of a lightweight drop on a horizontal plane [PDF]
The shape of drop on a flat horizontal plane is obtained by including the first order of correction by the weight. The sphere solution of the weightless drop is used to introduce a new polar coordinate by which the perturbative expression for a region of a drop can be extended analytically to the entire surface of a drop having both the concave and the

Cerebral organoids were employed as a novel model to explore the neurotoxicity of soman. Soman inhibited acetylcholinesterase activity, increased cell apoptosis and upregulated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress markers glucose‐regulated protein 78 (GRP78), activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6) and C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP).

A limitation of simulated space radiation studies is that radiation exposure is not the only environmental challenge astronauts face during missions. Therefore, we characterized behavioral and cognitive performance of male WAG/Rij rats 3 months after ...
