High-gradient magnetic fields and starch metabolism: results from a space experiment
Scientific Reports, 2022 Directing plant growth in weightlessness requires understanding the processes that establish plant orientation and how to manipulate them. Both gravi- and phototropism determine directional growth and previous experiments showed that high gradient ...

Simulated Weightlessness Perturbs the Intestinal Metabolomic Profile of Rats
Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 Recently, disorders of intestinal homeostasis in the space environment have been extensively demonstrated. Accumulating evidence have suggested microgravity and simulated weightlessness could induce dysbiosis of intestinal microbiota, which may ...
