NASA Studies Nanomechanics Of Inner Ear For Motion Sickness Moffett Field CA (SPX) Feb 05, 2010 
Learning how to walk again after long-duration space flights is a problem astronauts face as they readjust to Earth's gravity. To learn how microgravity affects human space travelers, NASA scientists studied the nanomechanics of hair cells in the inner ear.
Using the toadfish (Opsanus tau) as their model, scientists tested whether hair cells amplify stimuli from very small head movements, ... read moreAWI And DLR To Conduct Joint Health Research In The Antarctic 
Bonn, Germany (SPX) Nov 24, 2009The Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research and the German Aerospace Center intend to carry out health research together. On 23 November 2009, both partners signed a cooperation agreement to conduct bio-medical studies at Neumayer-Station III in Antarctica. In two projects, scientists will monitor the health of the station crew and study the physical and psychological effect ... more

Vaccine Research To Continue On Atlantis Mission
Austin TX (SPX) Nov 17, 2009For the fourth time this year, NASA's Shuttle fleet is carrying a series of experiments being conducted by Austin-based Astrogenetix, a commercial biotech company created to use microgravity to develop the foundation of new medicines. Payload on Space Shuttle Atlantis Flight STS-129 will consist of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) microbes in search of a target for a ther ... more Wyle Personnel Assist Important Studies On ISS 
El Segundo CA (SPX) Nov 17, 2009Medical and technical experts at Wyle are assisting two important NASA projects on the International Space Station. Their efforts will help astronauts cope with effects of long-duration spaceflight similar to what might be experienced in a future mission to Mars. "If successful, these studies will both improve astronaut health during space exploration missions and provide us with better in ... more Study: Bacteria may limit space travel 
Lorraine, France (UPI) Nov 2, 2009 French scientists say the prolific virulence and growth of bacteria in space, coupled with reduced production of antibodies, might limit future space travel. The researchers from Nancy-University in Lorraine, France, said long-term space flights might compromised by microbial hitchhikers, such as bacteria. That's because space travel appears to weaken the human immune system, while incr ... more Wanted: Guinea pigs with the Right Stuff 
Paris (AFP) Oct 20, 2009If being locked up in a cramped capsule for 17 months with five strangers is your idea of a good time, the European Space Agency (ESA) may have a job for you. ESA is looking for a few good men and women -- four, to be exact -- with the right qualities for an Earth-bound simulation of a Mars mission that may (or may not) happen a couple of decades from now. For candidates under 185 ... more |
