Microgravity, Stem Cells, and Embryonic Development: Challenges and Opportunities for 3D Tissue Generation
Space is a challenging environment for the human body, due to the combined effects of reduced gravity (microgravity) and cosmic radiation. Known effects of microgravity range from the blood redistribution that affects the cardiovascular system and the eye to muscle wasting, bone loss, anemia, and im...
