R. J. White : Life Sciences and Space Research XXV (1): Gravitational Biology: Proceedings of the Topical Meeting of the Cospar Interdisciplinary Scientific Commiss (Advances in Space Research)
Product Description
Two Spacelab flights with important biological payloads on board took place in 1991 and 1992. The highlights of the investigations together with the results of relevant ground-based research are reported in this volume. Divided into seven sections and comprising sixty-one papers, the contents appear under the following headings: 1) Theories and Models on the Biology of the Cell in Space; 2) Cellular Responses to Altered Gravity in Space and the Clinostate; 3) Graviresponses in Plants; 4) Gravitational Development Biology; 5) Mechanisms of Gravity Sensing and Perception; 6) Animal and Human Physiology, and finally; 7) Educational Opportunities in the Space Life Sciences.
