According to a study from the United States, "We tested whether microgravity affects mouse development during a period when gravity cues chick and frog embryo development. A rotating vessel developed similar to 0.1% simulated microgravity (MGS) for embryos."
"Microgravity simulation resulted in blocked cell accumulation in E2.5 embryos. E1.5 and E3.5 embryos showed lesser effects. For E1.5/2.5 embryos, cell accumulation block was followed by lethality at 48 hours after MGS. For E3.5 embryos, MGS blocked development without lethality but with apoptosis. E1.5-3.5 embryos from the rotational control developed lesser effects than MGS embryos. Embryonic ...
