NASA Twins Study finds spaceflight affects gut bacteria

Показать описание
Research from NASA’s landmark Twins Study found that extended spaceflight affects the human gut microbiome.
During his yearlong stay on the International Space Station (ISS), astronaut Scott Kelly experienced a shift in the ratio of two major categories of bacteria in his gut microbiome. The diversity of bacteria in his microbiome, however, did not change during spaceflight, which the Northwestern University-led research team found encouraging.
