In space fabrication of Janus base nano matrix for improved assembly and bioactivity.
npj Microgravity. 2025 Jul 2;11:32.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40603294
Note: From the abstract: “Nanomaterials have a broad impact on both space and biomedical research but have never been produced in-space for regenerative applications. During the Axiom-2 (Ax-2) mission, our team completed the first-ever low Earth orbit (LEO) manufacturing of Janus base nanomaterials (JBNs) for cartilage tissue regeneration. This fabrication of JBNs in LEO resulted in superior product homogeneity, stability, and loading ability compared to Earth samples, demonstrating the benefits of manufacturing in microgravity.” This article may be obtained online without charge.

Implied gravity promotes coherent motion perception.
npj Microgravity. 2025 Jul 7;11:36.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40624057
Note: From the abstract: “Gravity, a constant in Earth’s environment, constrains not only physical motion but also our estimation of motion trajectories. Early studies show that natural gravitational acceleration facilitates the manual interception of free-falling objects. However, whether implied gravity affects the perception of coherent motion patterns from local motion cues remains poorly understood. Here, we designed a motion coherence threshold task to measure the visual discrimination of coherent global motion with natural (1 g) and reversed (-1 g) gravitational accelerations.”

Anti-tumor immunization efficacy after particle-radiation exposure.
Radiat Res. 2025 Jun 30. Online ahead of print.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40583465
Note: From the abstract: “Particle radiotherapy is successful in treating cancers that are typically refractory to conventional low-LET therapy; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown. Some suggest that, in addition to local tumor control, particle radiotherapy may induce long-range systemic anti-cancer effects involving the immune system that may be responsible for the overall success of the modality. Using previously published methodology, we have assessed anti-tumor responses in vivo using an immunization model.”
