The Influence of Simulated Microgravity on Purinergic Signaling Is Different between Individual Culture and Endothelial and Smooth Muscle Cell Coculture

Figure 1

Cell Culture in a Clinostat to Simulate Microgravity Conditions. The clinostat (a) was used to simulate the microgravity environment by rotating cells. Only cells grown in the 6 mm area in the middle of culture slide (b) received the optimal simulated microgravity and were thus harvested using a special cell scraper (c).
