抄録(英)
We have been organizing the working group for rodent experiments in space to discuss a necessity of space studies in mammal and to seek opportunities of the joint space missions for the animal research. Over many centuries, to understand the Homo sapiens from the viewpoint of biology, the experiments that we used animals have been performed. The various questions about the phenomena, which occur in human body, have been elucidated by using the experimental animal in laboratory. The investigations on life science that are performed with mammals by controlling experimental conditions as well as performing in subjects will produce the high quality data on Earth and/or in outer space. At the present time, the crews on orbit of international space station (ISS) are performing the many investigations of space medicine in their bodies, and these researches will produce the important results under long-duration microgravity and specific ISS environments in the near future. The new questions will be led by these results, therefore, we will think that the additional rodents investigations based on these experiments in human are needed. The opportunity of a housing the rodents in outer space is still fewer, probably it is worldwide problem, nevertheless we should carry out the rodents ground-based experiments continuously to lead scientists to be interested in the study on space life science and medicine in next era.
