The effectiveness of RNAi in Caenorhabditis elegans is maintained during spaceflight.
PLoS ONE, 2011 BackgroundOvercoming spaceflight-induced (patho)physiologic adaptations is a major challenge preventing long-term deep space exploration. RNA interference (RNAi) has emerged as a promising therapeutic for combating diseases on Earth; however the efficacy

Brain strain: Blood flow and metabolism in environmental extremes
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract This narrative review compares and contrasts the most commonly encountered environmental stressors on human cerebrovascular functioning. From high altitude and space, extreme apnoea, heat and cold stress, the impact of these stressors on the regulation of cerebral blood flow (CBF) and oxygen metabolism (CMRO2${\mathrm{CM}}{{\mathrm{R}}_ ...

Exercise during 14 days of head down tilt bedrest attenuates motor unit impairments in older humans
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Head‐down tilt bedrest (HDBR) models the effects of mechanical unloading on neuromuscular function. The efficacy of exercise in preserving motor unit (MU) function in older adults during HDBR remains unclear. This study investigated the effects of 14‐day HDBR on MU properties in older adults and the protective role of exercise.
