Spaceflight Analogue Culture Enhances the Host-Pathogen Interaction Between Salmonella and a 3-D Biomimetic Intestinal Co-Culture Model
Link to the paper: https://www.frontiersin.org/…/fcimb.2022.705647/full The study investigates the impact of LSMMG culture on the interaction between Salmonella Typhimurium and a 3-D model of human intestinal tissue, revealing fewer transcriptional differences between LSMMG and control-infected host cells when infected with the Dhfq mutant strain compared to the wild type strain. These findings provide insights into […]

Machine learning algorithm to characterize antimicrobial resistance associated with the International Space Station surface microbiome
Link to the paper: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35999570/ The study used deep learning to analyze metagenomics data from the International Space Station (ISS) and identified antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes associated with cultivable strains and environmental samples. The results revealed AMR dominance in the last flight for Kalamiella piersonii and identified antibiotic resistance genes in Enterobacter bugandensis and Bacillus […]
A multi‑omics longitudinal study of the murine retinal response to chronic low‑dose irradiation and simulated microgravity
Link to the paper : https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-19360-9 The study analyzed a NASA GeneLab dataset to understand the effects of chronic low-dose irradiation and simulated microgravity on the murine retina using multi-omics approaches. It compared epigenomic and transcriptomic profiles of the retina at different time points post-exposure and identified differentially methylated loci/regions and differentially expressed genes. The […]
-Omics studies of plant biology in spaceflight: A critical review of recent experiments
Link to the paper: https://www.frontiersin.org/…/fspas.2022.964657/full The paper reviews recent experiments on the transcriptomic and proteomic responses of plants to reduced gravitational conditions in spaceflight. The findings highlight the link between microgravity and changes in gene expression related to various plant processes, such as cell wall synthesis, oxidative stress, phytohormones, and plant defense. Contributions of the […]
✍️Red Light Enhances Plant Adaptation to Spaceflight and Mars g-Levels🎋
Link to the paper: https://doi.org/10.3390/life12101484 The paper focuses on understanding how plants respond and adapt to extraterrestrial conditions, particularly in relation to light and gravity sensing in space. Transcriptomic studies showed that red light partially reverted the gene reprogramming induced by microgravity, and that the combination of microgravity and photoactivation was not recognized by seedlings […]
