Microgravity simulation by diamagnetic levitation: effects of a strong gradient magnetic field on the transcriptional profile of Drosophila melanogaster

Drosophila melanogaster fruit flies raised in a zero-gravity environment created by a superconducting magnet show substantial changes in the expression of many essential genes, suggesting that extended weightlessness during space flight could also potentially have negative effects on cellular processes.
