This review finds that short-term simulated microgravity offers a novel, non-invasive approach to treating degenerative disc disease (DDD) and aiding sports recovery. It works by rehydrating discs, ...

Crystallization studies conducted in space laboratories, which are costly and unaffordable for most research laboratories, showed the valuable effects of microgravity during the crystal growth process ...

Research on microbial responses to simulated microgravity has revealed profound alterations in growth, metabolism, gene expression and community dynamics. In space environments, the modified ...

Simulated effects of microgravity, created by 60 days of constant bed rest, severely disrupts rhythmic gene expression in humans, according to a new study. Simulated effects of microgravity, created ...

Students for the Exploration and Development of Space (SEDS-Canada) has selected the four finalist teams among a pool of applications for its latest initiative, the Canadian Reduced Gravity Experiment ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A four-legged robot named Olympus was "mounted upside down to a floating platform at the European Space Agency’s ORBIT facility," ...

Microgravity offers a disruptive environment for drug discovery by removing convection and sedimentation. This enables higher-quality protein crystals, more physiologically relevant 3D cell cultures, ...

Floating through the weightlessness of space, astronauts seldom need to flex their muscles. Slowly diminishing in size and strength, their wasting muscles struggle to support their weight when they ...
