Gravity and Cancer

نوع فایل:PDF تعداد صفحات :5 سال انتشار : 1394 چکیده Gravity is a well-known, but little understood, physical force. Its intensity and direction have been constant throughout evolutionary history on Earth, making it difficult to understand what role, if any, this vector force may have on life as we know it. Based on evidence that cells cultured in simulated microgravity exhibit in vivo characteristics similar to the parent tissue and that gravity alters metabolic activity and expression of different genes and cell signaling in various cell lines, the present study addressed whether or not simulated microgravity provided a better culture environment to enhance cell adhesion and to study potential markers for diseased tissue. Simulated microgravity culture...
