Abstract excerpt
In recent years, some papers have reported synergism in the biological effects of space radiation and microgravity. However, there is no direct evidence for these phenomena. As one possible mechanism, we investigated whether DNA ligation in the final step of DSBs repair of DNA molecules induced by radiation is depressed by microgravity. Therefore, we have scheduled the space experiments of the effects of...
