Human genome organization reportedly largely preserved after 24 hours of simulated microgravity
A post describing NYU researchers’ experiment says cell nuclei expanded, while the nuclear envelope remained unchanged.
TLDR
A post describing NYU researchers’ experiment says they simulated microgravity for 24 hours using a random positioning machine. Cell nuclei expanded, but genome organization and movements were largely preserved. The post says the researchers cautioned that longer exposure combined with cosmic radiation could still produce meaningful changes.
