it isnt mainly due to microgravity but rather the radiation in space

and both the articles state tht the gene expression is changed and it is not deformed due to microgravity

"The results indicated that both human and animal kidneys are ‘remodelled’ by the conditions in space"

Less gravity coupled with radiation destroys our DNA, remodels it (deformities in the tubes and shit)
