Physico-chemical characteristics of biomembranes and cell gravisensitivity

The resistance of living systems to the action of environmental factors is known to be largely determined by molecular organization of biomembranes constituting the basis of the cell per se and of all intracellular organelles. Gravity as one of the environmental factors, plays a definite role in the vital activity of organisms. Therefore, the problem of altered gravity impact on biological objects should be considered in close relation to the functional state of membranes and contractible elements of cytoskeleton. Moreover, the involvement of membrane structures and cytoskeleton in the processes of reception and realization of gravitational stimulus allows us to evaluate the extent of the direct or indirect influence of gravity on cell functioning in the gravitational field. The results of experimental studies having been conducted up to this time on a variety of cells and cell organelles under altered gravity conditions demonstrated noticeable alterations in the molecular organization of the membranes.
