Optimization of an ex-vivo human skin/vein model for long-term wound healing studies: ground preparatory activities for the ‘suture in space’ experiment onboard the international space station

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    Long-term space missions to bring astronauts beyond the Earth`s orbit, to explore the closer planets, have become a feasible objective for the near future. Although studies on wound healing in humans or in human tissues have never been conducted in space until now, the pathophysiological alterations caused by space flight could impair the body`s resilience to injuries. To ensure tissue viability throughout the experiment (4 weeks), the authors have developed an automated tissue_culture chamber-which fits the ESA Biolab facility inside the Columbus module onboard the ISS-and a new tissue_culture . . .
