In an experiment conducted by NASA researchers; it was found that the deletion of Nrf2, a protein naturally found within the body, by utilizing gene-knockout models in mice mitigates stress induced stress.
NASA scientists discovered that exposre of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) proteome to 15 cGy of 600 MeV/n 28Si ions can prevent cognitive impairments caused by space radiation (SR).
Researchers uncovered that supplying Cerium Oxide nanoparticles to mice skeletal muscle cells exerts a protective role against oxidative stress associated to the harsh environmental conditions of spaceflight, characterized by microgravity and highly energetic radiations.
