Genetic causes of immunodeficiency in microgravity

Genetic causes of immunodeficiency in microgravity
What influence does gravity have on gene regulation and the function of immune cells? This question should be answered by the experimental series 'Gene Control Prime', which will also investigate the genetic causes of immunodeficiency in microgravity. The findings may help to find new treatments for immune system disorders and new ways to fight bone atrophy (osteoporosis) on Earth.
