Simulated microgravity altered the cell cycle progression of porcine granulosa cells

Microgravity has been shown to markedly affect reproduction in humans and animals, especially reproductive organs such as the ovaries. Granulosa cells are one of the important components of the ovary, playing an important role in supporting oocyte maturation and fertilization. However, the effects of microgravity on granulosa cells have not been well characterized.
