Cardiovascular progenitor cells cultured aboard the International Space Station exhibit altered developmental and functional properties
10 Jul 2018
Abstract excerpt
Abstract The heart and its cellular components are profoundly altered by missions to space and injury on Earth. Further research, however, is needed to characterize and address the molecular substrates of such changes. For this reason, neonatal and adult human cardiovascular progenitor cells (CPCs) were cultured aboard the International Space Station. Upon return to Earth, we measured changes in the expression of...
