Space radiation linked to cancer-causing biological cascade
Original: Space radiation sparks: A biological cascade of cancer
New reporting from Phys.org describes how space radiation can trigger a biological cascade leading to cancer, detailing the mechanisms by which cosmic radiation damages cells and raises cancer risk. The findings are relevant to astronauts and long-duration space missions, where exposure to galactic cosmic rays and solar particle events remains a major health concern for space agencies.
Why now: Growing interest in astronaut health and long-term human spaceflight, including planned Mars missions
