The immune system which protects us from foreign bacteria as well as internal mutations can turn on our bodies by attacking healthy cells. This behavior leads to different kinds of diseases including multiple sclerosis (MS), Type 1 diabetes, asthma, and some allegories. Continue reading →

Space station and space flight gravity influence immune system development New in developmental research

Posted on by

New research findings recently published in The FASEB Journal, show that immune system development is affected by gravity changes, as reported by researchers from the University of Lorraine and University of Luxembourg. Astronauts are exposed to stresses, during launch and landing, which disrupts their body’s natural defenses against infection. Changes to the immune system need to be investigated before astronauts undergo longer space missions Continue reading →
