Article Synopsis
- Space travel can lead to stressors like microgravity and radiation, impacting astronauts' health even after mitigation strategies are applied.
- A study measured circulating cell-free mitochondrial DNA in astronauts' blood before launch, on landing day, and after return, finding significant increases in this DNA, indicating physiological stress.
- The results suggest that high levels of cell-free mitochondrial DNA could serve as a potential biomarker for stress and immune response related to the space environment.

Introduction: The incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) has increased in recent years. CKD is associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, although the mechanism remains unclear. Elevated soluble form of the receptor for advanced glycation end products ( RAGE) is related to proinflammatory signaling pathways that may promote diabetic nephropathy and vascular dysfunction.
