Changes in gravitational force induce alterations in gene expression that can be monitored in the live, developing zebrafish heart

Little is known about the effect of microgravity on gene expression, particularly in vivo during embryonic development. Using transgenic zebrafish that express the gfp gene under the influence of a β-actin promoter, we examined the affect of simulated-microgravity on GFP expression in the heart. Zeb...
