In this study, fruit flies and their parasitic wasps were sent to the ISS to examine changes in host immunity and parasite virulence. Key findings from this work are as follows:...

Staphylococcus aureus colonizes the nares of approximately 30% of humans, a risk factor for opportunistic infections. Because of the potential threat of S. aureus to astronaut...

The environmental microbiome study was designed to decipher microbial diversity of the International Space Station surfaces in terms of spatial and temporal distributions using...

The demands of deep space pose a health risk to the central nervous system that has long been a concern when sending humans to space. While little is known about how spaceflight...

The health risks associated with spaceflight-induced ocular structural and functional damage has become a recent concern for NASA. The goal of the present study was to...

Microbial isolates from the NASA Space Biology-funded microbial tracking experiments were re-sequenced using the Oxford Nanopore MinION.

Microorganisms' natural ability to live as organized multicellular communities – also known as biofilms – provides them with unique survival advantages. For instance, biofilms...

The health risk from spaceflight-induced neuronal damage and potential adverse neurovascular effects is a chief concern. More recently, it has been proposed that...

In Rodent Research Reference Mission-1 (RRRM-1), also known as RR-8, forty female BALB/cAnNTac mice were flown on the International Space Station. To assess differences in...

On Earth, people spend 90% of their time indoors where dust and moisture can facilitate rapid microbial growth, especially fungi. The International Space Station is a...

The Advanced Plant Experiment-04 - Epigenetic Expression (APEX-04-EpEx) experiment onboard the International Space Station examined the spaceflight-altered cytosine methylation...

The SpaceX Inspiration4 mission was a 3-day mission with four private astronauts to low Earth orbit that occurred in September 2021. The crew collected biospecimen samples...

Epigenetic changes in the DNA methylome are increasingly shown to play an integral role in regulating gene expression necessary for plants adaption to environmental stressors....
