European Space Agency’s hibernation (torpor) strategy for deep space missions: Linking biology to engineering.
Neurosci Biobehav Rev. 2021 Dec;131:618-26. Review. Available online 1 October 2021.
Note: From the abstract: “Long-duration space missions to Mars will impose extreme stresses of physical and psychological nature on the crew, as well as significant logistical and technical challenges for life support and transportation. Main challenges include optimising overall mass and maintaining crew physical and mental health. These key scopes have been taken up as the baseline for a study by the European Space Agency (ESA) using its Concurrent Design Facility (CDF). It focussed on the biology of hibernation in reducing metabolism and hence stress, and its links to the infrastructure and life support.”

Changes in blood biomarkers of brain injury and degeneration following long-duration spaceflight.
JAMA Neurol. 2021 Oct 11. Online ahead of print.
Note: From the abstract: “Long-duration spaceflight has a widespread effect on human physiology. The past decade first revealed eyeball alterations, and then neuroimaging studies hinted at potentially detrimental effects on the brain.Expansion of cerebrospinal fluid spaces occurs at the cost of the gray and white matter compartment. A neurobiological integrity assessment of the brain’s tissues after prolonged exposure to microgravity has never been conducted, to our knowledge. Therefore, we investigated the longitudinal course of blood-based biomarkers representing the brain parenchyma in long-duration spaceflight.”
