for Longevity
Spaceflight exposures alter the rate of cellular and organismal aging. Understanding these physiological changes in space has the potential to unlock new biomarkers and interventions that extend human health and lifespan on earth, as well as mitigate the risks of space exploration.
The extensive overlap between geriatric and spaceflight pathology as well as the accelerated pace at which astronauts experience aging in microgravity make for the unique and untapped opportunity to expedite human aging studies and evaluate anti-aging therapeutics.
