Abstract excerpt
Experiments were carried out aboard COSMOS 2044 to determine the effects of spaceflight on immunologically important cell function and distribution. Control groups included vivarium, synchronous, and antiorthostatically suspended rats. In one experiment, rat bone marrow cells were examined in Moscow, for their response to recombinant murine granulocyte/monocyte colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). In another...
