Enhancing European capabilities for application of multi-omics studies in biology and biomedicine space research (2023)
Journal Article

Following on from the NASA twins' study, there has been a tremendous interest in the use of omics techniques in spaceflight. Individual space agencies, NASA's GeneLab, JAXA's ibSLS, and the ESA-funded Space Omics Topical Team and the International St...

A systems biology approach reveals the endocrine disrupting potential of Aflatoxin B1 (2023)
Journal Article

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) a mycotoxin produced by Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus is a potent carcinogen and causative agent of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It is a food contaminant which presents a major risk to human health. AFB1 contamination p... Read More about A systems biology approach reveals the endocrine disrupting potential of Aflatoxin B1.

Investigating the effects of chronic low-dose radiation exposure in the liver of a hypothermic zebrafish model (2023)
Journal Article

Mankind's quest for a manned mission to Mars is placing increased emphasis on the development of innovative radio-protective countermeasures for long-term space travel. Hibernation confers radio-protective effects in hibernating animals, and this has...
