Effects of Space Flight on Mouse Liver versus Kidney: Gene Pathway Analyses.
Journal Article Int J Mol Sci · December 18, 2018 Understanding genome wide, tissue-specific, and spaceflight-induced changes in gene expression is critical to develop effective countermeasures. Transcriptome analysis has been performed on diverse tissues harvested from animals flown in space, but not the ...

Journal Article Microgravity Science and Technology · December 1, 2018 Drug-induced acute kidney injury causes massive morbidity and mortality at exorbitant cost, yet there is currently no effective method for preclinical in vitro testing for nephrotoxicity. Proximal tubule cells are a key target for nephrotoxins, but heretof ...

Journal Article Microgravity Sci Technol · 2018 Baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) has broad genetic homology to human cells. Although typically grown as 1-2mm diameter colonies under certain conditions yeast can form very large (10 + mm in diameter) or 'giant' colonies on agar. Giant yeast coloni ...
