Non-DNA radiosensitive targets that initiate persistent behavioral deficits in rats exposed to space radiation

Predicting future CNS risks for astronauts during deep-space missions will rely substantially on ground-based rodent data with space-relevant ions and behaviors. Lighter ions such as helium caused behavioral issues in rats at much lower doses than heavier ions such as iron, suggesting the radiation may target small structures rather than DNA. Findings raise questions regarding the identity of sub-cellular targets and the multi-cellular functional unit for behavior risks, low-dose susceptibility, and generalization from rat to other species and astronauts.

Visualization Tools

Data Visualization

GeneLab’s latest software release includes a new visualization portal to interact with gene expression data from space-related omics experiments. The enhanced portal includes a new search interface, new plots and layout, and advanced settings to customize the plots.

RadLab

RadLab is a portal that aims to provide a single point of access to radiation telemetry data from multiple databases maintained by multiple space agencies.

Environmental Data App (EDA)

The Environmental Data App (EDA) is a portal where users can visualize and compare ISS (International Space Station) cabin environmental telemetry data and radiation data gathered from spaceflight missions.

Testimonials

Marie Mortreux, University of Rhode Island 

“The [AWG] community that was created by these initiatives is nothing short of groundbreaking and I am so grateful for the new people I have met through these groups and collaborations. Making sure our science truly benefits all of mankind is such a wonderful goal, and none of it could be done alone.”
