Study Summary
By studying the affect of the space environment on vascular cell types, our goal is to elucidate the mechanism of vascular cell damage in the space environment by exposing vascular cells to space flight. In this pilot study, The study team propose to assess changes in transcriptomics of vascular cell types in space compared to those in a ground based study.
Primary Outcome
Post space flight the study team will conduct transcriptomics analysis to assess changes in the cells grown in space (microgravity), on earth (normal gravity), and in a rotating wall vessel bioreactor (ground based simulated microgravity)
Interventions
