The advent of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in the 1990s marked a transformative shift in surgical practice, leveraging advanced robotic-assisted systems (RAS) for enhanced precision, dexterity, and improved patient outcomes. Over the past two dec...
This perspective article explores the transformative potential of biomanufacturing in low Earth orbit (LEO) for regenerative medicine. Building on key symposia and workshops, it highlights the International Space Station (ISS) National Laboratory's r...
Human settlements on the Moon, crewed missions to Mars and space tourism will become a reality in the next few decades. Human presence in space, especially for extended periods of time, will therefore steeply increase. However, despite more than 60 y...
-The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA's) transition from operations in low-Earth orbit to long-duration missions to the Moon and Mars necessitates the development of progressively Earth-independent medical operations (EIMO) to s...
Spaceflight has several detrimental effects on human and rodent health. For example, liver dysfunction is a common phenotype observed in space-flown rodents, and this dysfunction is partially reflected in transcriptomic changes. Studies linking trans...
Spaceflight-Associated Neuro-Ocular Syndrome (SANS) presents a critical risk in long-duration missions, with microgravity-induced changes that threaten astronaut vision and mission outcomes. Current SANS monitoring, limited to pre- and post-flight ex...
Space medicine is a multidisciplinary field that requires the integration of medical imaging techniques and expertise in diagnosing and treating a wide range of acute and chronic conditions to maintain astronaut health. Medical imaging within this do...
The acceleration and deceleration (AD) motions are the basic motion modes of robot astronauts moving in a space station. Controlling the locomotion of the robot astronaut is very challenging due to the strong nonlinearity of its complex multi-body dy...
Key features for space exploration equipment, and in particular drills and sampling mechanisms, are low weight, small size, and energy efficiency. These characteristics are substantially required not only in reducing the spaceship flight cost, but al...
