Exploring the effects of simulated microgravity on esophageal cancer cells: insights into morphological, growth behavior, adhesion, and genetic damage.

The exploration of microgravity has garnered substantial scholarly attention due to its potential to offer unique insights into the behavior of biological systems. This study presents a preliminary investigation into the effects of simulated microgravity on esophageal cancer cells, examining various aspects such as morphology, growth behavior, adhesion, inhibition rate, and DNA damage. To achieve this, a novel microgravity simulator named "Gravity Challenge" was utilized for its effectiveness in minimizing external influences that could compromise microgravity conditions.
