DOI: 10.1038/s41526-018-0041-4
Abstract: Clinostats and Random Positioning Machine (RPM) are used to simulate microgravity, but, for space exploration, we need to know the response of living systems to fractional levels of gravity (partial gravity) as they exist on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1152/japplphysiol.01083.2017
Abstract: Musculoskeletal deconditioning is a well-known consequence of microgravity. However, the effects of partial gravity, such as that experienced on the moon (0.16 g) or Mars (0.38 g), on musculoskeletal health remain relatively unexplored. Because Mars… read more here.

DOI: 10.2108/zs180146
Abstract: Bioconvection is a form of collective pattern formation driven by negative gravitaxis of swimming microorganisms. In bioconvection, the interaction between individual swimmers results in self-organization leading to the development of a macroscopic structure typically 100–1000… read more here.
