Enhancing Space-Related Health Research Collaboration

This study delves into the mystery of higher apoptosis in simulated microgravity compared to actual microgravity. Identifying areas for research, the presenter highlights immune dysfunction, osteoporosis, muscle loss, and more with the aim to define molecular variations between simulated and actual microgravity. The existing resources for enhancing space-related health research are discussed, including utilizing the ISS as a National Laboratory. Milestones are proposed for long-term research exposure and hypothesis testing.

Presentation Transcript

  1. * Jessup et al. In Vitro Cell Dev Biol-Animal 36:367-373, 2000. Current Areas of Space-Related Health Research Conundrum: Why is there more apoptosis (programmed cell death) in simulated microgravity than actual microgravity? Presenter: J. M. Jessup Agency/Organization: NCI

  2. Promising Areas for Space-Related Health Research Collaborations • Immune Dysfunction • Osteoporosis • Muscle loss • Tissue Regeneration • Normal and malignant stem cell function • Physical properties of liquids -> FDI-CBSS • Definition of molecular differences between simulated and actual microgravity - for cells vs tissues Presenter: J. M. Jessup Agency/Organization: NCI

  3. Existing Resources to Facilitate Space-Related Health Research • Expand NIH-NASA Cell Science Center • Vitalize ISS as a National Laboratory • Use of mothballed locker-type hardware from STS/ISS for actual microgravity experiments • Reduce failure mitigation constraints and costs • Focus mission of research - earth vs space orientation - for space-based research -> milestones for long duration exposure - hypothesis testing vs generation Presenter: J. M. Jessup Agency/Organization: NCI
