Large teams of biomedical researchers have been analyzing every aspect of the Space Omics data from the shortest to the longest times in space for humans and animals. Surprisingly, mitochondria are limiting factors that could hamper Elon Musk’s Mars and NASA’s Lunar plans. Chris Mason (WorldQuant Professor at Weill Cornell Medicine) and Afshin Beheshti (Director of Center for Space Biomedicine, and Professor of Surgery and Computational and Systems Biology at University of Pittsburgh) are interviewed and a preprint of the next large paper is discussed.

Is a Life in Space Possible, or is Space a Laboratory for Health and Disease on Earth?
In this video MitoCast, MitoWorld Asks Space Health and Medical Experts about Mitochondrial Limitations in Space.
Biomedical evidence systematically collected from astronauts, mice and rats during and after extended time on the International Space, shorter trips (weeks), and even on much shorter trips such as SpaceX’s Inspiration 4 flights show mitochondrial stress. If Elon Musk intends…Read more…
Mitochondria in Space
In a preprint article currently under review1, “Guardians of the mitochondria: Space mitochondria 2.0 systemic analysis reveals bioenergetic dysregulation across species,” a research team led by Afshin Beheshti (Director of Center for Space Biomedicine, Associate Director of the McGowan Institute…Read more…
