1 Jul 1996
Abstract excerpt
Humans subjected to periods of microgravity develop anemia, thrombocytopenia, and abnormalities in red blood cell structure. The causes of these abnormalities are complex and unclear. The in vitro effects of spaceflight on hematopoietic cell proliferation and differentiation were investigated during the space shuttle missions STS-63 (Discovery) and STS-69 (Endeavour).
