Immunological and hematological outcomes following protracted low dose/low dose rate ionizing radiation and simulated microgravity
Abstract Using a ground-based model to simulate spaceflight [21-days of single-housed, hindlimb unloading (HLU) combined with continuous low-dose gamma irradiation (LDR, total dose of 0.04 Gy)], an in-depth survey of the immune and hematological systems of mice at 7-days post-exposure was performed....
