Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Immune system dysregulation has been demonstrated to occur during and immediately following spaceflight. As the initial bias and magnitude for an immune response is heavily influenced by monocyte/macrophage secreted cytokines, this study investigated monocyte phenotype and cytokine production patterns following short-duration spaceflight. METHODS: Secreted cytokine profiles were examined by...
