Immune System Dysregulation During Spaceflight: Potential Countermeasures for Deep Space Exploration Missions

Immune System Dysregulation During Spaceflight: Potential Countermeasures for Deep Space Exploration Missions

Recent studies have established that dysregulation of the human immune system and the reactivation of latent herpesviruses persists for the duration of a 6-month orbital spaceflight. It appears certain aspects of adaptive immunity are dysregulated during flight, yet some aspects of innate immunity a...
