چکیده

Bone loss is a negative balance course especially occurred after long-term space flight for astronauts under weightlessness [1]. Bone remodeling is a dynamic process that requires the coordinated interaction of osteocytes, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts, collaborating in basic multicellular units (BMUs) [2]. Recently,osteocytes are believed to be the mechanosensors of bone, responding to mechanical stresses [3], but it is unclear exactly how osteocytes influence neighboring bone cells in weightlessness. Some kinds of groud-based simulated methods, such as clinostat culture and RCCS, have been used to simulate the effects of real weightlessness. Diamagnetic levitation technology is a novel approach for simulated weightlessness and has only recently been applied in biological research [4-7]. In this study, we investigated the effects of simulated weightlessness using diamagnetic levitation or the traditional method-3-D clinostat culture on proliferation, morphology, cytoskeleton architecture, cell cycle and apoptosis in

The effect of simulated weightlessness and short-term light-dark cycle on retinoic acid levels in serum and hippocampus of rats

Background: spacecrafts rotate around the Earth every 90 minutes, so the 24-hour cycle turns to 90 minutes. Retinoic acid, an active metabolite of vitamin A, plays a role in regulating the circadian rhythm and its deficiency can impair the biological clock function and consequently impair the circadian rhythm of locomotor activity. The goal of the study was to assay the effects of simulated spa...

The effect of microgravity on osteoblast metabolism

Several reports have shown the deleterious effects of weightlessness on astronauts. Among the pathological conditions recorded, those involving the skeleton are dramatic, characterised by a decrease of bone mass and by bone demineralization, eventually leading to osteoporosis. This is consistent with the notion that mechanical loading is critical for the maintenance of a correct bone mass, sinc...
