Hypergravity effects on myoblast proliferation and differentiation

This study aimed at the investigation of behavior of myoblasts in conditions of altered gravity. C2C12 cells underwent stimulations by different hypergravity intensities (2h at 5g, 10g, and 20g) in the Large Diameter Centrifuge of the European Space Agency (ESA), highlighting positive effects on bot...

Description
Summary:	This study aimed at the investigation of behavior of myoblasts in conditions of altered gravity. C2C12 cells underwent stimulations by different hypergravity intensities (2h at 5g, 10g, and 20g) in the Large Diameter Centrifuge of the European Space Agency (ESA), highlighting positive effects on both proliferation and differentiation.
