Effects of Simulated 5-Ion Galactic Cosmic Radiation on Function and Structure of the Mouse Heart

Effects of Simulated 5-Ion Galactic Cosmic Radiation on Function and Structure of the Mouse Heart

Missions into deep space will expose astronauts to the harsh space environment, and the degenerative tissue effects of space radiation are largely unknown. To assess the risks, in this study, male BALB/c mice were exposed to 500 mGy 5-ion simulated GCR (GCRsim) at the NASA Space Radiation Laboratory...
