In international research, coordinated by Dr. Dr Nektarios Tavernarakis, President of HEI, Director of Research at the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology and Professor at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Crete. Scientists from Japan, the United States and South Korea also participated.
Scientists will study the biological effects of a long-lived space to answer questions such as: How are tissues and cells of an organism affected after prolonged exposure to microbial conditions? How does lack of gravity affect the morphology and function of muscles and neurons? What mechanisms are responsible for the loss of muscle mbad observed in astronauts after long stays in space? What are the effects of lack of gravity and cosmic radiation on the aging process?
The mission of biological material to the International Space Station will be scheduled by the US Space Center Kennedy on 18 November. The samples of the filamentous worm Caenorhabditis elegans will travel in special bags containing oxygen to the space station where they will remain until they are reproduced. Resistant larvae will be frozen at minus 80 degrees Celsius. They will then begin the journey back to Earth to study, from the researchers, the changes they will have in the meantime in their nervous and muscular systems.
The study of the effects of space conditions on this organism should provide important information and answers to scientists on the long-term stay in the human space.
