This journal aims to provide a thorough understanding of the scientific impact and future of spaceflight research.
Microgravity and bone physiology: Impacts on skeletal stem/progenitors.
Our paper entitled “Transcriptional responses of skeletal stem/progenitor cells to hindlimb unloading and recovery correlate with localized but not systemic multi-systems impacts” just published in npj Microgravity, reveals how simulated microgravity alters bone at the stem/progenitor level.
Fine-tuning mechanism of "body building" in space microgravity environment with epigenetic modifications
Our paper entitled "Histone deacetylase HDA-4-mediated epigenetic regulation in space-flown C. elegans” just published in npj Microgravity, demonstrates a novel epigenetic modification in response to microgravity environment of space-grown C. elegans.
Analysis of the Effects of Spaceflight and Local Administration of Thrombopoietin to a Femoral Defect Injury on Distal Skeletal Sites
Our recently published paper evidences a novel therapeutically approach for bone healing that improves osteogenesis in the absence of mechanical loading.
