Background: Long-term microgravity in spaceflight has been demonstrated with induction of multi-organ damage and dysfunction, including the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) injury. Present studies investigated protective effects oral pyruvate drinking water on lumbar 5 (L5) DRG tissues rats subjected hindlimb unweighting (HU). Methods: Sprague-Dawley male were randomly divided into four groups (N = 10...

Abstract Sessile drop creation in weightlessness is critical for designing scientific instruments space applications and manipulating organic or biological liquids, such as whole human blood DNA drops. It requires perfect control of injection, spreading, wetting; however, the simple act creating a on substrate more complex than it appears. A new macroscopic model derived to better understand th...
