Drosophila Brain Immunohistochemistry from ISS Microgravity Study

NASA research on central nervous system changes in Drosophila melanogaster aboard the International Space Station. The dataset contains immunohistochemistry assay results from whole brains, comparing responses to spaceflight microgravity and artificially simulated Earth gravity. The study was last updated on March 13, 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze neuronal loss patterns based on immunohistochemistry imaging data
• Compare glial cell count alterations between microgravity and artificial gravity conditions
• Study oxidative damage and apoptosis markers in spaceflight-exposed brain tissue
• Investigate synaptic transmission pathway alterations using multi-omics analysis results

Strengths

• Data originates from a controlled experiment aboard the International Space Station conducted by NASA
• Includes a comparison between microgravity and an artificial gravity countermeasure condition

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
