The goal of this study is to assess the affect of ground based microgravity on co-cultured vascular cell types. Our goal is to better understand the cross-talk between vascular cell types grown under conditions such as microgravity as is seen in space. In this pilot study, the investigator proposes to assess changes in cell phenotype and function in microgravity as compared to normal gravity.
