Viable construction technology for habitation on Mars: Fused Deposition Modelling
Link to the paper: https://iconsmat.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/v1.2.2.pdf The paper investigates the properties of cementitious materials on Mars and proposes Fused Deposition Modelling as a viable construction technique for durable construction materials on Mars. The study explores the use of automation and robotics in the construction industry, specifically for building habitats on Mars, and highlights the benefits of […]
Biofilm formation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in spaceflight is minimized on lubricant impregnated surfaces
Link to the paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41526-023-00316-w The study investigates the behavior of bacterial biofilms of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in microgravity and their potential control strategies in spaceflight. The results show that biofilms in microgravity are less robust than on Earth, and lubricant impregnated surfaces (LIS) strongly inhibit biofilm formation, making them a promising option for spacecraft use. […]
Pseudomonas aeruginosa as a model organism
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that is commonly found in soil and water. It is also an opportunistic pathogen that can cause a variety of infections in humans, including pneumonia, sepsis, and wound infections. P. aeruginosa is a well-studied model organism in biological research due to its: 🟣Fast growth and easy manipulation: P. […]
Reducing Virus Infection Risk in Space Environments through Nutrient Supplementation
Link to the paper: https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4425/13/9/1536# The study conducted bioinformatics analyses on the methylation data of the Mars 520 mission and human transcriptome data to evaluate the impact of space environments on gene expression and DNA methylation levels, and found multiple viral infection-related pathways. Supplementation of Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and vitamin D was found to be helpful […]
Spaceflight Associated Neuro-ocular Syndrome
Spaceflight is a challenging environment for the human body. The lack of gravity, the radiation exposure, and the isolation can all have a negative impact on health. One of the most common health problems that astronauts experience is spaceflight associated neuro-ocular syndrome (SANS). Spaceflight Associated Neuro-ocular Syndrome (SANS) is a constellation of eye and vision […]
Muscle atrophy phenotype gene expression during spaceflight is linked to a metabolic crosstalk in both the liver and the muscle in mice
Link to the paper: https://www.sciencedirect.com/…/pii/S2589004222014857 The paper investigates the transcriptome response of the liver and quadriceps in mice during spaceflight, using GSEA, ORA, and sparse partial least square-differential analysis. It is found that impaired lipid metabolism gene expression in the liver and muscle atrophy gene expression are two paired events during spaceflight, with a specific […]
