Multi-generational culture of c. elegans on a long-term space flight revealed changes in expression of genes involved in longevity, DNA repair,and locomotion
Scientists are trying to determine the long term effects of exposure to microgravity and space radiation on various cellular and biological functions. We used C. elegans as the model organism to study the changes in gene expression. Wild type worms were grown in a liquid medium using the CHab hardwa...
