This book explains how stress - either psychological or physical -
can activate and/or paralyse human innate or adaptive immunity.
Adequate immunity is crucial for maintaining health, both on Earth
and in space. During space flight, human physiology is specifically
challenged by complex environmental stressors, which are most
pronounced during lunar or interplanetary missions. Adopting an
interdisciplinary approach, the book identifies the impact of these
stressors - the space exposome - on immunity as a result of
(dys-)functions of specific cells, organs and organ networks. These
conditions (e.g. gravitation changes, radiation,
isolation/confinement) affect immunity, but at the same time
provide insights that may help to prevent, diagnose and address
immune-related health alterations. Written by experts from
academia, space agencies and industry, the book is a valuable
resource for professionals, researchers and students in the field
of medicine, biology and technology. The chapters "The Impact of
Everyday Stressors on the Immune System and Health", "Stress and
Radiation Responsiveness" and "Assessment of Radiosensitivity and
Biomonitoring of Exposure to Space adiation" are available open
