Two Spacelab flights with important biological payloads on board took place in 1991 and 1992. The highlights of the investigations together with the results of relevant ground-based research are reported in this volume. Divided into seven sections and comprising sixty-one papers, the contents appear under the following headings: 1) Theories and Models on the Biology of the Cell in Space; 2) Cellular Responses to Altered Gravity in Space and the Clinostate; 3) Graviresponses in Plants; 4) Gravitational Development Biology; 5) Mechanisms of Gravity Sensing and Perception; 6) Animal and Human Physiology, and finally; 7) Educational Opportunities in the Space Life Sciences.

Part 2 Cellular responses to altered gravity in space and the clinostate: pituitary cells in space, W.C. Hymer; effects of altered gravity on plant cell processes - results of recent space and clinostatic experiments, E.L. Kordyum; in vitro plant cell growth in microgravity and on clinostat, R.
