Multiple simulated spaceflight stressors impact cardiac fibrosis, calcium dynamics, immune function, cytokines and gene variants in rat, Rattus norvegicus
Space radiation and microgravity pose significant health risks for astronauts conducting deep space exploration. The impact of galactic cosmic radiation (GCR) and weightlessness alone, and their combined effects on cardiac disease, the immune system, cytokines and calcium dynamics should be understood before undertakin...
