Study finds how space travel alters gene expression in white blood cells, weakens immune system
There is growing evidence that illnesses are more likely to affect astronauts in space. For instance, respiratory and non-respiratory illnesses are rather prevalent among astronauts on board the International Space Station (ISS), as well as skin rashes. Additionally, it is known that astronauts shed more live viral particles, including as Epstein-Barr virus, varicella-zoster, herpes-simplex-1, and CMV. These findings imply that space flight may compromise our immune system. "Here we show that the expression of many genes related to immune functions rapidly decreases when astronauts reach space, while the opposite happens when they return to Earth after six months aboard the ISS," said Dr Ode
