Dynamic gene expression response to altered gravity in human myelomonocytic U937 cells [sounding rocket]

Released 2018-10-16

Study overview

What the record says

We investigated differentially regulated genes in human myelomonocytic U937 cells in 20s and 5min microgravity and in hypergravity and compared expression profiles to identify potential gravity-regulated genes and adaptation processes. Overall design: Human myelomonocytic U937 cells were exposed to altered gravity during a sounding rocket mission.
