https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/
Note: From the Editorial: “In this second issue [Special Issue: Stem Cells, Radiation, and Microgravity], we explore the role of radiation and microgravity on several additional stem cell populations, including hematopoietic and stromal stem cells, and focus on the role of microgravity in directing mammalian development.” All of the papers in this issue (Volume 27, Number 18) have been cited in prior SPACELINE Current Awareness Lists as they were released as online publications prior to print. The papers in this issue are: Effects of gravity, microgravity or microgravity simulation on early mammalian development by Ruden, et al.; Microgravity impairs DNA damage repair in human hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells and inhibits their differentiation into dendritic cells by Low, et al.; Stromal and hematopoietic progenitors from C57/BI/6N murine bone marrow after 30-day “BION-M1” spaceflight by Markina, et al.; Long-term effects of simulated microgravity and vibration exposure on skeletal development in zebrafish by Franz-Odendaal and Edsall; Simulated microgravity culture enhances the neuroprotective effects of human cranial bone-derived mesenchymal stem cells in traumatic brain injury by Otsuka, et al.; and Stem cell culture in microgravity and its application in cell-based therapy by Imura, et al.
