Brief Summary:
The space agencies are actively engaged in studying the physiological adaptation to space environment through studies on board the International Space Station (ISS) but also on the ground.Different methods are used to simulate weightlessness on Earth, including cellular models, animal models using hind-limb unloading, or on humans with unilateral lower limb suspension.However, two approaches, -6° head-down bed rest (HDBR) and dry immersion (DI) have provided possibilities for long-term exposures with findings…
