The environmental microbiome study was designed to decipher microbial diversity of the International Space Station surfaces in terms of spatial and temporal distributions using... -
Genetic Dissection of the Spaceflight Transcriptome Responses in Plants: are ...
Experimentation on the International Space Station has reached the stage where repeated and nuanced transcriptome studies are beginning to illuminate the structural and... -
Streptococcus mutans differential gene expression in response to simulated mi...
Astronauts have been previously shown to exhibit decreased salivary lysozyme and increased dental calculus and gingival inflammation in response to space flight host factors... -
Effect of microgravity on an animal-bacteria symbiosis
Spaceflight imposes numerous adaptive challenges for terrestrial life. The reduction in gravity or microgravity represents a novel environment that can disrupt homeostasis of... -
Temporal dynamics of the gut microbiota in people sharing a confined environm...
The MARS500 project the longest ground-based space simulation ever provided us with a unique opportunity to trace the crew microbiota over 520 days of isolated confinement such... -
Genes Required for Survival in Microgravity Revealed by Genome-Wide Yeast Del...
Spaceflight is a unique environment with profound effects on biological systems including tissue redistribution and musculoskeletal stresses. However the more subtle biological... -
Comparison of the spaceflight transcriptome of four commonly used Arabidopsis...
This experiment compared the spaceflight transcriptomes of four commonly used natural variants (ecotypes) of Arabidopsis thaliana using RNAseq. In nature Arabidopsis is a native... -
Analysis of dust samples from the Russian part of the ISS
Our study focuses on the hardiest microorganisms inhabiting the ISS in order to assess their diversity and capabilities to resist certain stresses. We specifically selected dust... -
A Molecular Genetic Basis Explaining Altered Bacterial Behavior in Space
Bacterial behavior has been observed to change during spaceflight. Higher final cell counts enhanced biofilm formation increased virulence and reduced susceptibility to... -
Effects of Spaceflight on Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Cardiom...
With extended stays aboard the International Space Station (ISS) becoming commonplace there is a need to better understand the effects of microgravity on cardiac function. We... -
Comparative gene expression analysis in the Arabidopsis thaliana root apex us...
The root apex is an important section of the plant root involved in environmental sensing and cellular development. Analyzing the gene profile of root apex in diverse... -
