Exposure to microgravity affects astronauts’ health in adverse ways. However, less is known about the extent to which fibroblast differentiation during the wound healing process is affected by the lack of gravity. One of the key steps of this process is the differentiation of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts, which contribute functionally through extracellular matrix production and remodeling....
Introduction
Gravity is one of the four fundamental forces that govern the universe and that we experience in daily life without realizing it.
The absence of mechano-stimulation caused by the lack or reduced presence of gravity (microgravity) has been widely studied since the beginning of the space age. This condition creates various cascade reactions in human, resulting in a profound...
