Experts have studied the effects of the imbalance on T cells, a type of white blood cell called lymphocytes. They play an important role in fighting diseases.
Scientists say that the immune system of astronauts can suffer due to the influence of microgravity. The results of the study were published in the journal Science Advances.
In their work, experts studied the effect of imbalance on T-cells, a type of white blood cell called lymphocytes. They play an important role in fighting diseases.
The study, conducted on Earth, involved eight healthy people. Scientists have created a bed of water, lying on which a person can imagine that the body is in imbalance. During the three-week study, the researchers took blood samples from the participants at various intervals.
“According to the study, the cells changed, they became like cells that have never encountered viruses and infections. This behavior of cells can have very negative consequences for the human immune system . That is, the cells become less resistant to diseases. At the same time, , as it happened, after 21 days, the cells adapted to the imbalance and almost completely returned to their original state . through imbalance,” the researchers said.
Changes in T-cells make the astronauts’ immune systems less able to fight disease, they say.
Recall that NASA previously stated when the first astronauts flew to Mars.
