Summary
This study follows 9 healthy young adults living for one year on the remote Kerguelen Islands to understand how extreme isolation and stress affect the immune system. Researchers will collect blood, saliva, stool, urine, and hair samples every three months to track changes in immunity, gut bacteria, and stress markers. The goal is to learn how the body adapts to long-term confinement, which could help people with chronic illnesses or those in space missions.
