Aims:
Specific aim 1 endothelial barrier function.
To determine the permeability and tight junction integrity of experimental models
exposed to high and low LET space radiation in conjunction with microgravity.
Specific aim 2 Angiogenesis and mature vessel integrity.
To determine the additive or synergistic effect of microgravity on the effect of space
radiation on angiogenesis and on mature vessels.
