About this Research Topic
There is a great deal of interest in personalized, individualized nutrition-based intervention during pathologic situations and prevention strategies during life course. This is true even for space shuttles, and space probes, etc.
Current technological breakthroughs have enabled scientists to probe a person's unique genetic, biochemical, physiological, behavioral, and exposure profile, allowing us to identify very specific and often nuanced factors that an individual might possess, which may make it more or less likely that he or she responds favorably to a particular intervention (e.g., nutrient supplementation) or a disease prevention strategy (e.g., specific diet). Appropriate personalized terrestrial (or space-related) nutrition strategies are not trivial and requires novel study designs and data analytical methods. Such designs and methodologies must take into account a very integrated use of the multiple contemporary biomedical assays and technologies that motivate them, which adds to their complexity. Previously, single-subject or N-of-1 trials are proposed to assess the utility of personalized interventions and, in addition, can be handled in such a way as to accommodate the necessarily integrated use of many emerging biomedical technologies and assays. In the current research topic, we will consider the motivation, design, and implementation of N-of-1 trials in translational nutrition research that are meant to assess the utility of personalized nutritional strategies, terrestrial simulated and or real-world space-related nutrition.
The proposed research topic will focus on translating or developing basic and applied nutritional research into terrestrial and space-related nutrition applications and therapies. We encourage basic and clinical scientists to publish their results in such detail that they can readily be reproduced. There will be no restriction on the length of papers or species under experiment(s) (i.e., viral/bacterial/plant/animal models/human subjects). Furthermore, we also specifically call for proposals on space technologies focusing on the following themes: space cultivation, futuristic technologies to simulate nutritional and biochemical challenges during space travel (such as an anaerobic situation), and proposed solutions, such as genetic manipulation hypotheses.
This topic will publish any original research articles, systematic and critical reviews, short communications, and scientific reports in the areas of transdisciplinary terrestrial and space-related nutrition research. The topics covered will include but are not restricted to:
• Molecular research.
• Non-human research.
• Clinical research.
• Clinical trials.
• Translational terrestrial and space-related human/animal nutrition.
• Hardware technologies designed for simulated space travels.
• Hypotheses: Genetic manipulation to combat anaerobic situations.
• Physiological, metabolic, biochemical and thermogenic papers.
• Agriculture, horticulture and cultivation research.
• Effect of the (micro)gravity on above mentioned subtopics.
• Aerospace physiology/metabolism and biosystems performance.
