Living at low gravity affects cells at the genetic level – Tech Explorist
Employing C. elegans to establish specific transcriptional responses to microgravity versus hypergravity extends our knowledge that living at low gravity affects…
Space exploration can have negative effects on living organisms. Significant adverse effects of long-term weightlessness include muscle atrophy and deterioration of the skeleton. Other notable effects include a slowing of cardiovascular system functions, decreased production of red blood cells, balance disorders, eyesight disorders, and changes in the immune system.
There is no doubt that space does mysterious things to a body. Many studies reveal cellular changes in their spinal cords, eyes, and…
