Summary

By studying the affect of the space environment on vascular cell types, our goal is to elucidate the mechanism of vascular cell damage in the space environment by exposing vascular cells to space flight. In this pilot study, The study team propose to assess changes in transcriptomics of vascular cell types in space compared to those in a ground based study.
