THE LATEST STUDY WAS CONDUCTED UNDER A UCL-LED INITIATIVE INVOLVING OVER 40 INSTITUTIONS ON FIVE CONTINENTS.
THE TEAM CONSIDERED DATA FROM 20 DIFFERENT RESEARCH COHORTS AND SAMPLES LINKED TO OVER 40 LOW EARTH ORBIT MISSIONS TO THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION, PLUS 11 SIMULATIONS WITH MICE AND RATS.
THE WORK IS DESCRIBED AS THE LARGEST ANALYSIS OF KIDNEY HEALTH IN SPACEFLIGHT SO FAR; FINDINGS REVEALED THAT THE STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF THE KIDNEYS ARE ALTERED BY SPACEFLIGHT, WITH GALACTIC RADIATION CAUSING PERMANENT DAMAGE THAT WOULD JEOPARDIZE ANY LONG-DISTANCE MISSION
