The NASA Twins Study: A multidimensional analysis of a year-long human spaceflight.

Francine E. Garrett-Bakelman, +88 more
- 12 Apr 2019 - 
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Benefits for bone from resistance exercise and nutrition in long-duration spaceflight: Evidence from biochemistry and densitometry

TL;DR: It is shown that resistance exercise, coupled with adequate energy intake (shown by maintenance of body mass determined by dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry [DXA]) and vitamin D, can maintain bone in most regions during 4‐ to 6‐month missions in microgravity.
Journal ArticleDOI

The nutritional status of astronauts is altered after long-term space flight aboard the International Space Station

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that bone loss, compromised vitamin D status, and oxidative damage are among critical nutritional concerns for long-duration space travelers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comprehensive Multi-omics Analysis Reveals Mitochondrial Stress as a Central Biological Hub for Spaceflight Impact.

TL;DR: Overall pathway analyses on the multi-omics datasets showed significant enrichment for mitochondrial processes, as well as innate immunity, chronic inflammation, cell cycle, circadian rhythm, and olfactory functions, indicating mitochondrial stress as a consistent phenotype of spaceflight.
