ISGP meeting 2026 in Cologne
José and Shashank presented their research projects at the 45th Annual Meeting of the International Society for Gravitational Physiology (ISGP) in Cologne this week.
Alongside questions in the field of space biology - cancer and cardiovascular research under microgravity conditions - the focus this time was also on technical and methodological advances achieved by a fantastic interdisciplinary team at OVGU/UMMD. Thanks to the intersection of life sciences and engineering (and a bit of tinkering), it is now possible to create more physiologically relevant microenvironments for human cell cultures during parabolic flights, enabling even more accurate cell biology data.
José Luis Cortés Sánchez, Herbert Schulz, Daniela Melnik, Marco Calvaruso, Viviann Sandt, Juan Nicolas Bejarano, Sascha Kopp, Daniela Grimm & Marcus Krüger: The Parabolic Flight Exposome and its Effects on Tumor Spheroids. Gravity Sensing in 3D: Cytoskeletal Gene Regulation in Breast Cancer Spheroids
Shashank Kashyap, Daniela Grimm, Markus Wehland, Herbert Schulz & Marcus Krüger: Beyond the Pulse. Gravitational Reponses in an Artificial Circulatory System
