Space stress triggers adaptation in biological systems

This chain explains how exposure to space-related stressors, such as HZE radiation, induces cellular responses that enable biological adaptation. Systematic characterization and engineering of gene regulatory networks further inform and promote adaptation, ultimately allowing for novel applications of adapted strains.
