Celestial immunity

Photo (part of time lapse) taken during Celestial Immunity Plate Second Sampling in the Japanese Experiment Module (JEM). View is of the empty module with Life Sciences Glovebox (LSG) in the forefront. Astronaut Mark Vande Hei is also visible to conduct the operations. Dissecting the Influence of Gravity on Human Immune Function in Adults and the Elderly (Celestial Immunity) builds on earlier studies to evaluate how gravity affects functional immune response, from innate mechanisms of defense to adaptive responses.
