npj Microgravity. 2021 Feb 22;7(1):7. Review.

Note: From the article: “This review begins by summarizing the technologies available for simulating microgravity, with some recent analysis of the fluid mechanics of spaceflight analog devices. The possible effects of the different types of vessels on microorganisms apart from their simulation of weightlessness are discussed, as well as other complications that may arise from attempting to compare groundbased with ISS-based microbial gene expression studies.” This article may be obtained online without charge.

Mohammadyari P, Gadda G, Taibi A.

Sci Rep. 2021 Feb 25;11(1):4672.

Note: Head-down tilt bed rest study. From the abstract: “In this study we modelled the human haemodynamics with focus on head and neck exposed to different hydrostatic pressures in supine, upright (head-up tilt), head-down tilt position, and microgravity environment by using a well-developed 1D-0D haemodynamic model. The model consists of two parts that simulates the arterial (1D) and brainvenous (0D) vascular tree.” This article may be obtained online without charge.
