Research on astronaut health and model organisms have revealed six features of
spaceflight biology that guide our current understanding of fundamental molecular changes …

NASA's plans for space exploration include a return to the Moon to stay—boots back on the
lunar surface with an orbital outpost. This station will be a launch point for voyages to …

The field of human space travel is in the midst of a dramatic revolution. Upcoming missions
are looking to push the boundaries of space travel, with plans to travel for longer distances …

Skeletal muscle atrophy is a well-known consequence of spaceflight. Because of the
potential significant impact of muscle atrophy and muscle dysfunction on astronauts and …

Nanoscale spacecrafts have shed light on an audacious but promising vision for interstellar
travel to neighboring planets beyond the solar system. The nanocrafts can be accelerated to …

Abstract Space biology research aims to understand fundamental spaceflight effects on
organisms, develop foundational knowledge to support deep space exploration and …

As human space exploration advances to establish a permanent presence beyond the Low
Earth Orbit (LEO) with NASA's Artemis mission, researchers are striving to understand and …

Human spaceflight is entering a new era of sustainable human space exploration. By 2030
humans will regularly fly to the Moon's orbit, return to the Moon's surface and preparations …

Background: Epidemiologic studies of radiation-exposed populations form the basis for
human safety standards. They also help shape public health policy and evidence-based …

We have identified and validated a spaceflight-associated microRNA (miRNA) signature that
is shared by rodents and humans in response to simulated, short-duration and long-duration …
