Virtual reality as a countermeasure for astronaut motion sickness during simulated post-flight water landings by Lonner, T. L., Allred, A. R., Bonarrigo, L., Gopinath, A., Smith, K., Kravets, V., Groen, E. L., Oman, C., DiZio, P., Lawson, B. D., Clark, T. K.

“…We tested the countermeasure’s effectiveness at mitigating motion sickness symptoms at the end of a ground-based reentry analog: approximately 1 h of 2Gx centrifugation followed by up to 1 h of wave-like motion. Secondarily, we explored differences in vestibular-mediated balance performance between the two conditions. …”

Vitamin D modulates human macrophage response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA by Cervantes, Jorge L., Oak, Esther, Garcia, John, Liu, Hongfei, Lorenzini, Paolo A., Batra, Deepika, Chhabra, Arvind, Salazar, Juan C., Roca, Xavier

“…Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a facultative intracellular pathogen that infects macrophages where it avoids elimination by interfering with host defense mechanisms, including phago-lysosome fusion. Endosomal Toll-like receptors (TLRs) generate Type I Interferons (IFNs), which are associated with active tuberculosis (TB). …”
