Design of spaceflight hardware for plant growth in a sealed habitat for experiments on the Moon.
Gravit Space Res. 2022 Dec 24;10(1):37-44.
https://doi.org/10.2478/gsr-2022-0005
Note: ISS results. From the abstract: “Plant growth experiments on near-term lunar landers need to be relatively small, lightweight, and self-contained.

Space farming: Horticulture systems on spacecraft and outlook to planetary space exploration.
Plant Physiol Biochem. 2022 Dec 21;194:708-21. Review.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36566710
Note: From the abstract: “Successful human space exploration requires more products than can be taken as payload. There is a need, therefore, for in-space circular manufacturing. Requirements for this include limited resource inflow, from either Earth or other planets and the generation of minimal waste. The provision of nutritious food is a clear need for human survival on the Moon or Mars and is one of the most complex to solve. Demand in large quantities, constant and reliable provision of food requires the development of specialist agricultural technologies. Here, we review the history of space farming over the past five decades.”

Light-mediated 3D printing of micro-pyramid-decorated tailorable wound dressings with endogenous growth factor sequestration for improved wound healing.
ACS Appl Mater Interfaces. 2022 Dec 23.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36562761
Note: From the abstract: “Medical dressings play an important role in the field of tissue engineering owing to their ability to accelerate the process of wound healing. Great efforts have been made to fabricate wound dressings with distinctive features for promoting wound healing. However, most of the current synthesis methods either generate dressings of uniform size or involve complex fabrication techniques, thus limiting their commercialization for the personalized dressings. We report here a dressing, which presents a paradigm shift in the design of the dressing from uniform films to a micro-patterned film.”
