SPACELINE Current Awareness Lists are distributed via listserv and are available on the NASA Task Book website at https://taskbook.nasaprs.com/Publication/spaceline.cfm. Please send any correspondence to Shawna Byrd, SPACELINE Current Awareness Senior Editor, [email protected].

This weeks Current Awareness list is being sent out early due to our office being closed in observance of Veterans Day tomorrow. The next list will be sent out as usual on Friday, November 17.

This teleologically-grounded framework offers a principled agenda and launchpad for both organizing existing perspectives and generating new ones.” This article may be obtained online without charge.

The aim of this work was to determine the relative content and distribution of the main proteins of microtubules and microfilaments, to assess the relative RNA content of genes in mouse oocytes after short-term exposure to simulated microgravity, and to determine the potential for embryo development up to the 3-cell stage.”
