Stem Cell Research is Helping to Understand Reproductive Risks in Space

Pregnancy in Space: Studying Stem Cells in Zero Gravity May Determine Whether it’s Safe

Space is a hostile, extreme environment. It’s only a matter of time before ordinary people are exposed to this environment, either by engaging in space tourism or by joining self-sustaining colonies far away from Earth.

To this end, there needs to be a much better understanding of how the environmental dangers of space will affect the biology of our cells, tissues, organs, and cognition. Crucially for future space colonies, we need to know whether we can easily reproduce in environments other than those found on Earth.

The effects of radiation on our cells, producing DNA damage, are well documented. What’s less clear is how lower levels of gravity, what scientists call microgravity, will affect the mechanisms and rhythms taking place within our cells.

Scientists are only just beginning to investigate how activity in our cells might be affected by exposure to microgravity. Crucially, experiments on embryonic stem cells, and models of how embryos develop in their first few weeks in space, will help us determine whether it’s possible for humans to produce offspring in the extraplanetary colonies of the future.

Cosmic Conception

The ability to reproduce in space has been assessed in a few animals, including insects, amphibians, fish, reptiles, birds, and rodents. They have found that it’s certainly possible for organisms such as fish, frogs and geckos to produce fertilised eggs during spaceflight that can live and reproduce on Earth.

But the picture is more complicated in mammals. A study of mice, for instance, found that their oestrous cycle, part of the reproductive cycle, was disrupted by exposure to microgravity. Another study found that exposure to microgravity caused negative neurological alterations in rats. Hypothetically, these effects could also be transmitted to subsequent generations.

This likely happens because our cells did not evolve to work in microgravity. They evolved over millions of years on Earth, in it’s unique gravitational field. Earth’s gravity is part of what anchors and exerts physical force on our tissues, our cells, and our intracellular contents, helping to control specific movements within cells. The study of this is called mechanobiology.

The division of cells and the movement of genes and chromosomes within them, which is crucial to the development of a foetus, also works with and against the force of gravity as we know it on Earth. It follows that systems evolved to work perfectly in Earth’s gravity may be affected when the force of gravity changes.

Fetal Position

When an embryo first starts to divide, in a process called cleavage, the rate of division can be faster at one end of the embryo than the other. Gravity plays a role here, determining the position of the very first building blocks in a human life.

gravity also helps to establish the correct body plan of a fetus, ensuring the right cells develop in the right places in the right numbers and in the right spatial orientation.

Researchers have investigated whether embryonic stem cells, which are “pluripotent” and can develop into all cells of the body, are affected by microgravity. At present, there is some evidence that when rodent embryonic stem cells are subjected to microgravity, their ability to become the desired cell types may be impacted.

It is also possible to produce pluripotent human stem cells from normal mature cells of our bodies, which are called induced pluripotent stem cells. These have also been studied under microgravity, with experiments on Earth finding that induced stem cells proliferate faster in simulated microgravity. Two batches of these stem cells are currently on the International Space Station to see whether these results can be replicated in space.

If adult stem cells do proliferate faster in space, it could open the door for commercial stem cell manufacturers to produce these cells in orbit, seeing as it’s difficult to culture enough stem cells on Earth to treat degenerative diseases with stem cell therapies.

Gravitational Field

Besides normal cellular processes, it’s also unclear how fertilization, hormone production, lactation, and even birth itself will be affected by exposure to microgravity.

It seems that short-term exposure to microgravity, of perhaps half an hour, will probably not have too much of an effect on our cells. But longer exposures of days or weeks are likely to have an effect. This is not taking into account the effect of radiation on our cells and DNA, but we already know how to protect against radiation.

Scientists are looking at two ways to protect against the adverse effects of microgravity on our biology: intervention at the cellular level, using drugs or nanotechnology, and intervention on the environmental level, by simulating Earth’s gravity in spacecraft or off-world colonies. Both fields of study are in their early stages.

Still, studying stem cells in space provides a valuable window into how pregnancy could work, or not work when we’re outside Earth’s gravitational field. For now, those fortunate enough to go to space might do well to avoid attempting to conceive before, during or directly after a space flight.

How the Investment Playing Field Can Dramatically Change in November

The Mid-Term Elections are Just One of the SEC’s Concerns

The mid-term elections have the potential to alter the course of the markets. It’s easy to recognize how the possible outcomes can cause changes to the overall economy, including industry sectors, fuel prices, and perhaps even national debt levels. But, one area that is less obvious could also impact investors in a big way, regulation. As election day is now days away, many regulatory changes that have been in the works are quickly coming to a head, with the expectations there may be a change in priorities, power, and philosophy. The push to get things through in the coming days may still be undermined by the U.S. system. Here’s why.

The U.S. Government at Work

Federal regulators are in scramble-mode working to finalize proposed rules before what appears will be a change in the balance of power in the legislative branch. The possibility that there may be a Republican-controlled Congress or the expected idea that the democrats will lose control over one of the branches of Congress would soften their ability to institute their aggressive agendas. As the agencies refine their proposals, they also have to be mindful that it isn’t just the new Congress that will be evaluating new regulations. The Supreme Court has recently taken a heightened interest in agencies overstepping their charter, that interest is likely to continue.

It’s easy to see how Congress whose job it is to decide where money is spent, can dampen the agenda of the Department of Education (DOE), Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), or Gary Gensler’s plans at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). But, the Supreme Court is also more than a casual observer and has shown how willing it is to make sure everyone stays in their defined lanes. 

Recent SEC Initiatives

The SEC has a three-part mission that includes protecting investors, maintaining fair, orderly, and efficient markets, and facilitating capital formation. Under Gary Gensler, it has been working overtime to impact the changing marketplaces. The initiatives are considered by some to be beyond the scope of the SEC’s lawful mission.

Gensler, who was appointed by President Biden, has been extremely active. The former Chairman of the U.S. Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and MIT economics professor is proposing or finalizing dozens of regulations. Some are minor alterations to existing rules, but many are complete redesigns of how they are handled now. This redesign may make it past an unenthusiastic Congress, as they have more pressing priorities, but they may experience an aggressive halt from the country’s Judicial branch.

Recent Supreme Court Actions

In June of 2022, the Supreme Court decided W. Virginia v. EPA. The decision struck down an EPA regulation fighting climate change. The decision was made based on the grounds that the rule violated the “major questions doctrine.” The Court had never used that term before, but it seemed evident that the court might use the term and intent of the phrase should it be called on to review other federal agencies and commissions.

The Court has the authority and now recent precedent to unwind regulation that goes beyond the original intent of Congress when an agency was created or any subsequent legal grants of authority. The 6-3 ruling against the EPA explained the Clean Air Act, designed for new power plant emissions, did not extend to existing plants requiring them to shift to wind or solar. It’s a nod by the Court to keep bureaucracies from growing beyond the express original legal reason for being. 

The ruling also is relevant in that it looked at Congress’s unwillingness to legislate and legitimize the way that the agency chose to regulate. One Justice in a concurring opinion wrote the decision was in part based on whether the agency was “intruding” in a traditional area of state law. 

How it Could Impact Investors

Under the major questions doctrine, several SEC efforts may become far more difficult.

One high-profile SEC goal involves environmental initiatives. Climate change activists have supported the SEC’s proposal to require companies to increase their disclosure of anticipated climate risks. But it would be difficult for the SEC to weigh its mission against this initiative and easily demonstrate that anyone has a great impact on the other (orderly markets, investor protection, capital formation). If environmental initiatives are to be carried out, they will need to be enacted by the representatives elected to legislate on behalf of citizens.

It is easy to see how priorities focusing more on fiscal restraint rather than environmental awareness could alter the investors playing field with a power change in the Capital building.

The so-called greening of Wall Street is just one example of how the elections will impact the coming year’s winners and losers in the stock market. Consider the SEC’s proposed rules for swaps, which are financial instruments that some investors use to speculate on securities. The SEC’s suggested rule would require public disclosure within a day of these transactions to the public. The proposed rule can be considered an unprecedented intervention in this multi-trillion-dollar market. The argument is strengthened by the reality that Congress could have authorized disclosure in the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act, but did not. The Supreme Court would be expected to rule on behalf of the laws as written.

Another SEC initiative also at risk is the proposed rule on “beneficial” ownership. Such a definition is important for a host of reporting obligations. The SEC is considering expanding what counts as ownership. But questions of ownership have long been a matter of state concern. Gorsuch may have something to say about the SEC’s effort to expand the definition. 

Another example is Kim Kardashian, who was ordered by the SEC to pay a fine for having touted a cryptocurrency on her Instagram account and the compensation she failed to disclose. The SEC has been in a battle with other financial overseers of the U.S. financial system to regulate and control digital currencies, which may or may not meet the definitions of a security or other language that legally created the commission.

Take Away

Regulatory agencies, including the SEC, are likely to have to contend with increased barriers with both the only branch of government that makes both laws and spends money and the branch that deciphers and enforces laws. Rather than argue if this is what should be, or if it slows down progress when wearing one’s investor hat,” investors may only want to consider what industries and what companies within those industries will be the winners and losers – then how does that fit into your overall portfolio strategy.

Release – Cypress Development Engages Thyssenkrupp Nucera For Design And Engineering Of Chlor-Alkali Plant In Feasibility Study

Research, News, and Market Data on CYDVF

October 27, 2022 – Vancouver, Canada – Cypress Development Corp. (TSXV: CYP) (OTCQX: CYDVF) (Frankfurt: C1Z1) (Cypress or Company) is pleased to announce the selection of thyssenkrupp nucera USA, Inc. (thyssenkrupp nucera) to provide the design and engineering for the chlor-alkali plant as part of the ongoing Feasibility Study on the Company’s Clayton Valley Lithium Project in Nevada, USA (Project). The chlor-alkali plant is an essential component which will allow the Project to self-generate two key reagents required for processing lithium-bearing claystone through to a Li2CO3 (lithium carbonate) product.

“The Company’s selection of thyssenkrupp nucera is another important step towards completion of the Feasibility Study for the Project’s production of lithium carbonate. Their experience and proven track record as an electrolysis technology company with worldwide knowledge in the chlor-alkali field will add to our Feasibility Study” stated Bill Willoughby, President, and CEO of Cypress Development.

thyssenkrupp nucera USA Inc. is the U.S. subsidiary of thyssenkrupp nucera AG & Co. KGaA, an international company that offers world-leading technologies for high-efficiency electrolysis plants, which includes chlor-alkali electrolysis, HCl electrolysis, and alkaline water electrolysis. thyssenkrupp nucera’s scope in the chlorine electrolysis business includes the supply and services around engineering, supply of all major plant equipment, supervision of the erection and commissioning activities, training of the operating personnel as well as holistic 360-degree service solutions for the entire lifecycle of a plant.

thyssenkrupp nucera’s scope of work will include the development of a facility concept for treatment of the recovered brine stream from Cypress’ process and ensure compatibility with the membrane electrolysis cells of a chlor-alkali plant. Standardized and proprietary e-BiTACv7 BiPolar type membrane cell electrolyzers from thyssenkrupp nucera serve as the heart of the chlor-alkali plant to generate the key reagents HCl (hydrochloric acid) and NaOH (sodium hydroxide) required to process the lithium ore. The NaCl (sodium chloride) and H2O (water) molecules present in the recovered brine are electrolyzed to produce Cl2 (chlorine), H2 (hydrogen) and the sodium hydroxide, where then outside of the cells, the chlorine and hydrogen molecules are combined to produce hydrochloric acid.

Feasibility Study Update

The Company’s Feasibility Study on the Project commenced in March 2022 under the direction of Wood PLC (Wood), with support from Global Resource Engineers, Continental Metallurgical Services, WSP USA Environment & Infrastructure Inc., and Cypress.

Progress on the Feasibility Study is advancing as planned. Wood and the supporting teams have completed or are near completion of several key items, including resource and reserve estimates, mine plan, processing plant design, and tailings and waste storage facilities.

Positive results from test work conducted at Saltworks Technologies Inc. (Saltworks) (see news release dated September 19, 2022), where high purity lithium carbonate was made at Saltworks from concentrated lithium solutions produced at Cypress’ Lithium Extraction Facility in Nevada.

Saltworks has since completed a second phase of testing which examined the production of lithium from the blowdown-brine stream collected during the lithium carbonate concentration in the first stage of testing. We are pleased to report these results are positive and confirm the viability of an increase in lithium recovery via re-concentration of the blowdown-brine and production of additional lithium carbonate solids. Results from third-party laboratory analysis are pending for lithium carbonate quality obtained during this test. This step has the potential to significantly reduce the volume required to be recycled back to the upstream direct lithium recovery (DLE) plant and reduce size and capital cost of the DLE plant.

Based on the progress and results from Saltworks, Cypress is focusing on lithium carbonate as the end-product for the Feasibility Study and has engaged Saltworks to provide the engineering and design for the final steps in producing lithium carbonate.
