  • Author: Sarah Elizabeth Blutt
With increased interest in long term space travel, it is critical to anticipate how exposure to radiation will affect human health. Human 3D tissue/organ models provide a state-ofthe-art model to evaluate the effects of radiation damage and to assess mitigators of radiation damage. The use of physiologically active human avatars, like 3D tissue/organ models, to understand how human tissues and organs behave in the spaceflight environment will make a significant contribution to space radiation research and ultimately lead to discoveries that will ensure the safety and health of astronauts.
