Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Genotoxicity Provoked by Exposure of Human Lung Cells to Lunar Dust Simulants
Abstract
We studied potential toxicity of "space weathered" lunar regolith simulants for human lung cells in culture, which showed dysfunction of cellular organelles, genotoxicity in the form of DNA damage, and cell death.
