PI: D.A. Goukassian

Note: From the abstract: “In this perspective article, we provide new insights into the potential role of exosomal lncRNA after spaceflight. We analyzed the transcriptional profile of exosomes isolated from peripheral blood plasma of three astronauts who flew on various Shuttle missions between 1998–2001 by RNA-sequencing. Computational analysis of the transcriptome of these exosomes identified 27 differentially expressed lncRNAs with a Log₂ fold change, with molecular, cellular, and clinical implications.” This article is part of Research Topic “RNA-Chromatin Interactions: Biology, Mechanism, Disease and Therapeutics” (https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/25076/rna-chromatin-interactions-biology-mechanism-disease-and-therapeutics#articles).

Note: From the abstract: “Recently, three different microfluidics-suitable fluid behavior phenomena have been studied on the ISS that might further facilitate the manipulation of fluids in space: capillary-driven flow, thermocapillary Marangoni forces, and electrolytic gas evolution-driven flow. Furthermore, attention is drawn for strategies to eliminate unwanted bubbles from liquid bodies in space, as they can damage sensitive equipment: Mesh-screen capillarity and open wedge channels have been identified as promising approaches. Finally, the relevance of fluid handling in space is illustrated with everyday activities during space missions, such as drinking, plant watering, and gathering biometric data.” This article is part of Research Topic “Technologies for handling, preparation, and liquid-based analysis of fluidic samples in space” (https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/18491/technologies-for-handling-preparation-and-liquid-based-analysis-of-fluidic-samples-in-space#articles).
