In vivo data show effects of spaceflight microgravity on stem cells and tissue regeneration

(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc./Genetic Engineering News) A new review of data from 12 spaceflight experiments and simulated microgravity studies has shown that microgravity does not have a negative effect on stem-like cell-dependent tissue regeneration in newts, but in some tissues regeneration is faster and more robust.
