Spaceflight imposes substantial physiological stress on reproductive systems, yet relevant transcriptomic data remain fragmented across repositories. To address this need, we developed ASTROREPOMICS, a web-based platform that integrates 17 rigorously […]
Cyanobacteria and eukaryotic microalgae (collectively referred to here as ‘microalgae’) represent early-evolving oxygenic phototrophs and are widely considered ideal candidates for bioregenerative life support systems (BLSS) due to their high […]
Space-based platforms currently represent the most accurate means to experimentally assess the influence of the space environment on biological systems. However, performing such experiments remains technically challenging and requires highly […]
The American Society for Gravitational and Space Research (ASGSR) plays an important role in connecting the gravitational and space research community through its annual scientific meeting, advocacy efforts, student engagement […]
The SpaceX Inspiration4 mission provided a unique opportunity to study the impact of spaceflight on the human body.
This investigation aims to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which Streptococcus pneumoniae, the leading cause of community-acquired pneumonia damages heart tissue.
Cell–cell coupling repositions the mitotic wave origin to the margin and prevents desynchronization.
In a new study, terrestrial bacteria-infecting viruses were still able to infect their E. coli hosts in near-weightless “microgravity” conditions aboard the International Space Station, but the dynamics of virus-bacteria […]
Introduction Microgravity is a critical environmental factor in space that can alter microbial physiology and virus–host interactions. Understanding these effects is essential for planetary protection and crew health during long-term […]
