Six-month old female C57BL/6 mice were irradiated with 16O at dosages of 0, 0.1 or 0.25 Gy (600 MeV/n) at NASA?s space radiation laboratory in Upton, NY. Three months following irradiation, animals we
Long-duration spaceflight poses a critical risk to the central nervous system (CNS), a threat we argue is best understood not as simple radiation damage, but as **accelerated biological aging**. This
