TL;DR: Given that the majority of the biological and human health variables remained stable, or returned to baseline, after a 340-day space mission, these data suggest that human health can be mostly sustained over this duration of spaceflight.

TL;DR: It is likely that longer telomeres increase risk for several cancers but reduce risk for some non-neoplastic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, as well as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are strongly associated with telomere length in the general population.

TL;DR: The authors found a strong genome-wide significant association (rs71947865, Odds Ratio [OR] = 1.48, P = 8.6 × 10-9) within the 3'gion of TRANK1 gene locus, previously associated with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.

TL;DR: Together these findings show that the autoimmune component in narcolepsy is defined by antigen presentation, mediated through specific T cell receptor chains, and modulated by influenza-A as a critical trigger.

TL;DR: High resolution HLA typing of Class I/Class II in 40 cases versus ethnically matched controls suggests differential genetic susceptibility to anti-Yo per cancer and with a primary HLA Class II involvement.
