Microgravity in space may cause cancer − but on Earth, mimicking weightlessness could help researchers develop treatments

Cells function differently under low gravity conditions. Rather than send lab samples to space, researchers are developing Earth-bound tools to more easily study microgravity’s effects on biology.

The first stage MVP of our 3D #MriSafe #Clinostat for simulating #microgravity is now operational, with a few added enhancements.

While this stage still utilizes conventional motors, we’re gearing up for the next phase where it will be ready to conduct experiments in MRI.

Additionally, we’re thrilled to announce that entropi.space Ltd. has signed an MOU with two prominent universities to further advance this project. Learn more: https://entropi.space

🥳 From model to prototype. There will be few more changes to make in next one. But overall I like how it’s going. MRI safe, ZAP free clinostat for various also extreme conditions.

Attached: 1 image First version of design #MRI safe (no metalic parts, hopefully also IEC 60079-11:2023 compliant) #clinostat for #microgravity experiments. I will be thankful for any enhancements suggestions. MVP will be ready until end of this year. If you have plan to use clinostat in your experiments in near feature or if you used any before, please let me know. I am eager for any insights how to make design better. This one is holding 16 35mm petri dish. #space #RPM #biology #science

Working on novelty #clinostat design. Do i have somebody here from #biotech or another industries here who can confirm utility of possible application of such a device inside #MRI ? #science #technology #microbiology
