  Houston TX (SPX) Oct 25, 2017 The microgravity environment of the International Space Station impacts nearly every system within the human body. Researchers are studying the effects to the eyes, heart, muscles, and bones, but an area that hasn't received as much focus is one that is vital to human survival: the lungs. Like a set of lungs, the Effect of Microgravity on Stem Cell Mediated Recellularization (Lung Tissue) investigation aboard the International Space Station is two-fold. First, researchers are studying the long-ter ... read more |

Life on Earth is impossible without photosynthesis. It provides food and oxygen to all higher life forms and plays an important role in the climate system, since this process regulates the uptake of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the Earth's atmosphere and its fixation in biomass. However, quantification of photosynthesis at the ecosystem-to-global scale remains uncertain.
