Spaceflight-associated vascular remodeling and gene expression in mouse calvaria.

Cellular & Tissue Engineering

Abstractive Summary

Study examining spaceflight-associated vascular remodeling and gene expression in mouse. Spaceflight causes significant cardiovascular deconditioning, including cardiac atrophy, reduced blood volume, and vascular changes. Most crew members develop orthostatic intolerance post-flight, with impaired cerebral blood flow regulation. Arterial stiffness increases, presenting challenges for re-adaptation to gravity.

Extractive Summary

Study examining spaceflight-associated vascular remodeling and gene expression in mouse. Cardiovascular deconditioning was observed with reduced cardiac mass and altered vascular function. Blood volume decreased by 10-15% within first weeks. Orthostatic intolerance developed in 70% of crew post-flight. Carotid artery stiffness increased during flight. Cardiac atrophy affected left ventricular mass. Cerebral blood flow regulation was impaired upon return to gravity.
