Microgravity
Previous research
- Cell morphology and function changes (Montgomery 1978)
- More than 25 different cell types have been in space(Cogoli 1998)
- Cell suspensions preferentially aggregate and proliferate more (Lorenzi 1995)
- Possibly due to upregulation of cell-cell adhesion molecules, ECM components and receptors
- Increase in collagen production in dermal fibroblasts (Seitzer 1995)
