Cytoskeletal stability and metabolic alterations in primary human macrophages in long-term microgravity.

The immune system is one of the most affected systems of the human body during space flight. The cells of the immune system are exceptionally sensitive to microgravity. Thus, serious concerns arise, whether space flight associated weakening of the immune system ultimately precludes the expansion of...
