How are cell and tissue structure and function influenced by gravity and what are the gravity perception mechanisms? KU Leuven Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Progress in mechanobiology allowed us to better understand the important role of mechanical forces in the regulation of biological processes. Space research in the field of life sciences clearly showed that gravity plays a crucial role in biological processes. The space environment offers the unique opportunity to carry out experiments without gravity, helping us not only to understand the effects of gravitational alterations on biological ...
