Müller cells are activated in response to retinal outer nuclear layer degeneration in rats subjected to simulated weightlessness conditions [PDF]
Neural Regeneration ResearchA microgravity environment has been shown to cause ocular damage and affect visual acuity, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Therefore, we established an animal model of weightlessness via tail suspension to examine the pathological changes ...

Osteocytes and Weightlessness [PDF]
Current Osteoporosis Reports, 2021 Abstract Purpose of Review Osteocytes are considered to be the cells responsible for mastering the remodeling process that follows the exposure to unloading conditions. Given the invasiveness of bone biopsies in humans, both rodents and in vitro culture systems are largely adopted as models for studies in space missions ...

The Weightless Economy in Economic Development [PDF]
, 2001 AbstractWhile the notion that knowledge plays no small part in economic growth may be perceived to be both old and new, this chapter encounters a seemingly different claim that asserts how knowledge is important not only in terms of science, R&D, and education, but because the national income has experienced significant increases through knowledge ...

The Effects of Chronic Weightlessness on Limited of Stability and Dynamic Balance in Breath-hold and SCUBA Divers [PDF]
Journal of Paramedical Science and Rehabilitation, 2022 Purpose:Water immersion built a new environment in which weightlessness puts unknown demand on somatosensory system such as altered sensory integration due to the improper proprioception afferent. This condition can lead to an imprecise function of human

Brain potential responses involved in decision-making in weightlessness
Scientific Reports, 2022 The brain is essential to human adaptation to any environment including space. We examined astronauts’ brain function through their electrical EEG brain potential responses related to their decision of executing a docking task in the same virtual ...
