Simulated Microgravity Alters Sperm Navigation, Fertilization and Embryo Development in Mammals
peer-reviewed-primary-simulated-microgravity-experiment record in the GShips Atlas; inclusion does not establish claim support.
Selection note: A dual-axis clinostat study of human, mouse, and pig gametes and early embryos reported species- and duration-dependent changes in sperm navigation, fertilization, cleavage, blastocyst development, and lineage allocation. It is simulated microgravity, uses in-vitro systems and a proprietary device with disclosed reproducibility limitations, and does not establish in-flight implantation, gestation, birth, childhood, or human safety.
Evidence boundary: This stable source is used by at least one editorially assessed claim. Its claim-specific relation and locator—not Atlas inclusion—define the evidence use; independent domain review remains pending.
