"To explore deeper into space, it is crucial that we learn how our bodies change & adapt to the unique environment of space. The Open Science Data Repository-which includes data from GeneLab & the Ames Life Sciences Data Archive (ALSDA)-helps scientists understand how the fundamental building blocks of life itself change from exposure to microgravity, radiation, and other aspects of the space environment. The purpose of the Open Science Analysis Working Groups (AWGs) is to offer comprehensive feedback on the data housed within OSDR and leverage it for subsequent analysis purposes. The AWGs are comprised of scientists with diverse backgrounds and is subdivided into six main areas of expertise (Plant, Animal, Microbes, Multi-omics, ALSDA, and Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning - AI/ML). Occurring on May 1 - 2, 2024 from 9 am - 2pm PT, this free virtual event is open to the public and will allow attendees an opportunity to hear about some of the exciting open science stemming from the Analysis Work Group (AWG) community. Under the overarching theme of "Bridging Space Biology and Advanced Technologies," the symposium will feature keynote addresses from Shawna Pandya, Kellie Gerardi, and Chris Sembroski, along with scientific presentations from AWG members that have expertise in artificial intelligence/machine learning, plant biology, systems biology, microbiology, and space medicine." https://lnkd.in/e7hP8giK

How does life survive deep beneath the Earth’s surface? How does an absence of cosmic radiation impact cellular life? What technology should we use to look for life in outer space? 🔬🦠    We’re excited to be hosting #DULIABio24 this week – a series of workshops on #Biology and #BioScience, bringing together scientists from #underground labs around the world. This year, the conference is hosted by STFC and Boulby Underground Laboratory and held in #York 🌍    Underground bioscience is a fascinating field of research – in terms of both currently active studies and future projects and plans. The talks and discussions in the earlier half of this week range from studying how ultra-low radiation environments affect life, to studies of life in low radiation environments, to developing technologies for searching for life beyond Earth – and more... 

#TBT to space mission 04.08.2022   This month’s Research Spotlight highlights a study conducted in space by Amorphical and SpacePharma. Captivate Bio played a tiny role in helping make sure critical reagents made the flight including our very own DPBS and animal serum. The study shows how amorphous calcium carbonate enhanced differentiation of human primary skeletal muscle cells and MSCs. Results, combined with previous data, support the use of ACC as an advantageous supplement for preventing muscle and bone deterioration in outer space conditions, facilitating extended extraterrestrial voyages and colonization.   Read more: https://lnkd.in/gFjQnJTh   Reference: Orit Ecker Cohen, et al., Life Sciences in Space Research, 2024. #cellculture #reagents #captivatingscience #Scienceanddiscovery #spacemission #ResearchSpotlight #labsupplies #logistics #captivatebio

Multi-Drug Resistant Bacteria Found on ISS Mutating to Become Functionally Distinct by Elizabeth E. Keller In a new #scientific #paper funded by an #AmesSpaceBiologygrant, Principal Investigator Dr. Kasthuri Venkateswaran of #NASA’s #JetPropulsionLaboratory #strains of the #bacterial #species #Enterobacterbugandensis isolated from the #InternationalSpaceStation (#ISS) were studied. Thirteen strains of E. bugandensis, a bacterium notorious for being #multidrugresistant, were isolated from the ISS. ... ... ... Publication Impact: Closed human-built environments, such as the ISS, are unique areas that provide an extreme environment subject to #microgravity, #radiation, and elevated #carbondioxide levels. Any #microorganisms introduced to these areas must adapt to thrive. By delving into microbial dynamics in extreme environments, this #research opens doors to effective #preventative measure for #astronaut #health.

Miniaturized mass spectrometers, one of the keys to the search for life in space Searching for life in space means looking for chemical compounds, and mass spectrometry is one of the most widely used techniques for identifying and quantifying the chemical composition of a sample. But ordinary mass spectrometers have sizes and weights that make them impossible to transport in a spacecraft: hence the need to miniaturize. In this interesting article, published in 2019, different miniaturization techniques are described. Miniaturization itself is not the problem as much as avoiding the drop in performance is. Moreover, the application of these techniques is not limited to the space industry but is open to many other scientific fields. https://lnkd.in/dWnndFx6 #LifeDetection@GT #Nasa #SpaceExploration #MassSpectrometry

Our Customer, the Paolo Annibale Research Team from the University of St Andrews, explores how changes in #gravitational conditions impact #cellular responses to #drugs. In #space, #cells experience unique gravitational environments, which can alter their #biological reactions to #treatments. This #research is crucial for developing new #therapies and understanding #cell biology under extreme conditions. Findings could benefit not only #space medicine but also improve treatments on Earth. Read the full report and discover how #Cellbox's #portableincubator with active #CO2 and #temperature control provides living cells for their research.  👩🚀 ➡ https://bit.ly/3LzQ0L3
