Fruit flies survive, reproduce and recover under gravitational forces up to 13G in UC Riverside centrifuge study May 01, 2026 (SPX) The study, led by neuroscience doctoral student Sushmita Arumugam Amogh and entomology assistant professor Ysabel Giraldo, used a custom-built centrifuge to expose common fruit flies to hypergravity levels ranging from 4G to 13G. The work fills a gap in understanding how extreme gravitational forces -- rather than the microgravity more commonly studied in space research -- affect biological system... read more |
Freeze-Dried Synthetic Platelets Proven Shelf-Stable for Battlefield and Remote Trauma CareApr 29, 2026 (SPX) "You don't need a refrigerator to store it, and in a powder form it can be transported to and stockpiled wherever it's needed," said Anirban Sen Gupta, the Wallace R. Persons Professor of Biomedical Engineering at the Ca... more 
NASA Sends Miniaturized IV Fluid Generator to ISS Ahead of Deep Space MissionsApr 26, 2026 (SPX) The system, called IntraVenous Fluid GENeration Miniaturized - IVGEN Mini - launched to the station on April 11 aboard the Northrop Grumman Commercial Resupply Services 24 mission. Demonstration operations are planned to... more 
Astronaut Brain Grip Study Reveals How the Mind Adapts to Shifting Gravity EnvironmentsApr 23, 2026 (SPX) On Earth, people grip objects to ensure they don't fall. In space, this process changes: when astronauts hold an object without moving it and then let go, the object doesn't fall because there is no gravity. But when ast... more 
Lost in space: Sperm struggles to navigate during weightless sexMar 30, 2026 (AFP) Some particularly resilient sperm still made it through the course, suggesting that conceiving children in space will still be possible, according to research published on Thursday. However a bigger problem could be that... more |
Simulated weightlessness alters clotting patterns in womenMar 29, 2026 (SPX) The new work, led by researchers at Simon Fraser University in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA), responds to concerns raised after a 2020 International Space Station mission detected an unexpected blood... more 
UK roadmap aims to bring space made medicines to patientsMar 29, 2026 (SPX) The unique environment of microgravity, which is impossible to replicate on Earth, can improve how complex biologic drugs form, behave and work within the human body. This has the potential to improve outcomes for people... more |
Biofilm communities seen as key to safer long term spaceflightMar 29, 2026 (SPX) University of Houston microbiologist Madhan Tirumalai, a member of NASAs Analysis Working Groups, contributed to a new review in the journal npj Biofilms and Microbiomes that pulls together existing data on biofilms from... more 
Open source microscope enables low cost live cell imaging in zero gravityFeb 23, 2026 (SPX) The work, which was previously published in the journal npj Microgravity, will be highlighted at the 70th Biophysical Society Annual Meeting in San Francisco from February 21 to 25, 2026. The effort focuses on enabling m... more |
WHO urges US to share Covid origins intelFeb 11, 2026 (AFP) The global catastrophe killed an estimated 20 million people, according to the UN health agency, while shredding economies, crippling health systems and turning people's lives upside-down. The first cases were detected i... more
Experts warn of urgent need to address human reproduction risks in spaceFeb 06, 2026 (SPX) The study, published in Reproductive Biomedicine Online, is authored by nine specialists in reproductive health, aerospace medicine and bioethics. They describe how two once-separate revolutions, human spaceflight and as... more |
How Pain and Suffering Are Calculated After a Car CrashFeb 01, 2026 (SPX) Beyond damaged vehicles and medical bills, crashes can cause lasting pain that affects daily life in ways harder to measure. This becomes especially important when navigating claims in New York, where traffic density, in... more
