The CELIMENE space experiment (CELulles en Impesanteur: Muscle Et Neurone Embryonnaires) was devoted to the study of the influence of gravity on the differentiation, the organisation and the maintenance of the highly specialised nervous system and muscular system. CELIMENE was carried out during the first flight of the IBIS hardware (Instrument for BIology in Space) with the fully automatic space mission PHOTON 10 in February 1995. Using the amphibian Pleurodeles waltl as a vertebrate model, in vitro experiments involved immunocytochemical detection of glial-, neuronal- and muscle-specific markers, and neurotransmitters in cells developed under conditions of microgravity compared with 1g controls, on-board and on the ground. We observed that the altered gravity did not disturb cell morphogenesis or differentiation.

Microgravity may profoundly impact the cardiovascular system, skeletal muscle system, and immune system of astronauts. At the cellular level, microgravity may also affect cell proliferation, differentiation, and growth, as well as lipid metabolism. In this work, we investigated lipid changes in Caco-2 cells cultured in a clinostat for 24 h under simulated microgravity conditions (SMC).

Rehabilitation from musculoskeletal injuries (MSKI) complicate healing dynamics typically by sustained disuse of bone and muscles. Microgravity naturally allows limb disuse and thus an effective model to understand MSKI. The current study examined epigenetic changes in a segmental bone defect (SBD) mouse model in a prolonged unloading condition after spaceflight (FLT).

The development of osteopenia is one of the most noticeable manifestations of the adverse effects of space factors on crew members. The Hippo signaling pathway has been shown to play a central role in regulating the functional activity of cells through their response to mechanical stimuli. In the present study, the components of the Hippo pathway and the protective properties of osteodifferentiation inducers were investigated under simulated microgravity (smg) using a heterotypic bone marrow cell culture model, which allows for the maintenance of the close interaction between the stromal and hematopoietic compartments, present in vivo and of great importance for both the fate of osteoprogenitors and hematopoiesis.

This study investigates the effects of microgravity on the differentiation and mineralization of IDG-SW3 osteocyte-like cells to understand the response of bone cells to microgravity and develop strategies to mitigate bone loss in astronauts. IDG-SW3 cells were cultured in collagen-coated dishes and subjected to a 3D clinostat to simulate microgravity 14 days after initiating differentiation. The static group remained under normal gravity.

Long-term exposure to a microgravity environment leads to structural and functional changes in hearts of astronauts. Although several studies have reported mechanisms of cardiac damage under microgravity conditions, comprehensive research on changes at the protein level in these hearts is still lacking. In this study, proteomic analysis of microgravity-exposed hearts identified 156 differentially expressed proteins, and ubiquitinomic analysis of these hearts identified 169 proteins with differential ubiquitination modifications.
