Microgravity Impairs DNA Damage Repair in Human Hematopoietic Stem/Progenitor Cells and Inhibits Their Differentiation into Dendritic Cells
14 Jun 2018
Abstract excerpt
Astronauts on missions beyond low-Earth orbit are exposed to a hostile environment in which they are continually bombarded with unique high-energy species of radiation, while in conditions of microgravity (μG), which can alter radiation response and immunity. In the present studies, we examined the impact exposing human hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSC) to μG had upon their capacity to repair DNA damage...
