Brief Summary:
The goal of this study is to assess the affect of ground based microgravity on co-cultured vascular cell types. Our goal is to better understand the cross-talk between vascular cell types grown under conditions such as microgravity as is seen in space. In this pilot study, the investigator proposes to assess changes in cell phenotype and function in microgravity as compared to normal gravity.
Detailed Description:
This study builds upon previously reported space flight data in GenLab, as well as our own published data whereby the investigator evaluate the effect of microgravity on the differentiation and functional potential of circulating stem cells. The goal of this work is to leverage the powerful genetic analyses done in the SPHINX study and look at the consequences these changes have on cell-cell communications essential for vascular homeostasis, for a possible correlation to cardiovascular deconditioning. The application of this work is targeted at possible "cell based" countermeasures to address the negative effects of microgravity on the vasculature.
