The human body was not made for spaceflight—it has evolved over millions of years to function optimally in Earth's environment. For astronauts entering space, especially for a prolonged amount of time, many physiological and psychological challenges will occur. Afshin Beheshti joins Reuters to discuss the effects on human health caused by space travel and his research in alleviating some of those issues. https://lnkd.in/eDHngqXQ

Tardigrades, known for their extreme resilience, produce a unique protein called Dsup, which shields their DNA from radiation damage. Now, scientists are leveraging this mechanism to protect human cells during radiation therapy. A research team from MIT, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and the University of Iowa successfully delivered Dsup mRNA via nanoparticles to mice, prompting cells to produce the protective protein temporarily. When exposed to radiation, treated cells exhibited significantly less DNA damage without long-term genetic alterations. This study, published in Nature Biomedical Engineering, suggests that Dsup-based therapies could help reduce radiation’s harmful effects on healthy tissue—offering a potential breakthrough for cancer treatments, space travel, and beyond.

?? Breaking New Ground: The Most Comprehensive ISS Microbiome Study Published in Cell Press! ?? Excited to share our latest research, where we mapped the International Space Station’s (ISS) microbiome and chemical environment at an unprecedented scale—100X more data than any previous study! This is the first time genomics and metabolomics have been combined to fully characterize the ISS's built environment, revealing critical insights into microbial dynamics in space. ?? Key Highlights from Our Study: ? 803 surface samples analyzed through microbial sequencing and untargeted metabolomics ? ISS modules have distinct microbial and chemical signatures based on human activities ? Lower microbiome diversity compared to Earth’s built environments, making it an extreme example of industrialized isolation ? Metagenomic tools prove essential in monitoring microbial risks to astronaut health ?? Why It Matters for Space Exploration: Using data from nine ISS modules, we built a 3D microbial and chemical map of the U.S. Orbital Segment, uncovering how human activity shapes the ISS environment. This work highlights how long-duration spaceflight alters microbial ecosystems, reinforcing the need for real-time, culture-independent sequencing to safeguard astronaut health on future deep-space missions. This groundbreaking study was made possible through an incredible collaboration between NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (Kasthuri Venkateswaran's Lab), UC San Diego (Rodolfo Antonio Salido Benítez and Rob Knight's lab; Haoqi (Nina) Zhao and Pieter Dorrestein's lab ), NASA Ames Research Center (ARC), and NASA Johnson Space Center (Astronauts Kate Rubins and Michael Barratt), with funding from ISS National Lab. ??
