Scientist-astronaut sends T-cells into space

A former astronaut and researcher at the San Francisco VA Medical Center will be traveling to the Cosmodrome space-launch site at Baikonur, Kazakhstan, this Saturday, Sept. 2, 2006, to prepare a crucial experiment designed to demonstrate how human immune response is suppressed in the weightless environment of space. Millie Hughes-Fulford, PhD, director of the Laboratory of Cell Growth at...

U of M study examines kidney stone prevention in astronauts

As the space shuttle Discovery prepares to launch on July 1, researchers at the University of Minnesota have identified a way for astronauts to reduce their risk of developing kidney stones while in space. Astronauts lose calcium in their bones and strength in their muscles while in space because of the zero-gravity environment. This calcium can end up in their kidneys, putting them at ri...

Researcher to study astronaut bone loss for space biology agency

Roger K. Long, MD, an endocrinology research fellow at the San Francisco VA Medical Center and the University of California, San Francisco, was one of only three scientists named in January 2007 as 2006-2008 Postdoctoral Fellows by the National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI). Long's NSBRI research project will focus on the causes and possible methods of treating or preventing...

Except for a video camera to be fixed for another was left undone which is placed on a transport platform....

Exercise in Space Prevents Kidney Stone Formation in Astronauts

Researchers at the University of Minnesota said that astronauts have to exercise and it is the only way to reduce the risk of developing kidney stones in space// . Exercise simulates gravity and thereby helps the astronauts to combat bone loss. Astronauts lose calcium in their bones and strength in their muscles while in space because of the zero-gravity environment. This calcium can en...

Robotic Surgeon to Team Up With Doctors, Astronauts on NASA Mission

This week Raven, the mobile surgical robot developed by the University of Washington, leaves for the depths of the Atlantic Ocean. The UW will participate// in NASA's mission to submerge a surgeon and robotic gear in a simulated spaceship. For 12 days the surgical robotic system will be put through its paces in an underwater capsule that mimics conditions in a space shuttle. Surgeons back...

Astronauts can Now Feed on 'radiation-eating' Fungi

Researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in Yeshiva University have reportedly found evidence of fungi possessing the ability to use radioactivity as an energy source for making food and spurring their growth. According to Dr. Arturo Casadevall, chair of microbiology and immunology at Einstein and senior author of the study, this finding could trigger a recalculation...

US Astronauts Successfully Complete Fourth Space Walk

(RIA Novosti) Astronauts from the Atlantis space shuttle have completed a fourth space walk on the International Space Station (ISS), a spokesperson for the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) said Monday. During the space walk, astronauts Patrick Forrester and Steven Swanson managed to activate a Solar Alpha Rotary Joint (SARJ), allowing solar arrays installed...
