Spaceflight: Microgravity analog culture profoundly affects microbial infection process in 3-D human tissue models

Researchers demonstrate that under low fluid shear force conditions that simulate those found in microgravity culture during spaceflight, the foodborne pathogen Salmonella infects 3-D models of human intestinal tissue at much higher levels, and induces unique alterations in gene expression.
