Spaceflight Accelerates Aging: New Study Reveals Liver Damage from Cosmic Radiation
Key Takeaways
- UCF researchers simulated deep space conditions, exposing animal models to microgravity and cosmic radiation for 14 days.
- Within 24 hours, the liver showed genetic changes resembling accelerated aging, including cellular senescence and inflammation.
- Findings were validated against human data from NASA Twins Study and Inspiration4 mission.
- Antagomirs identified as potential countermeasures to mitigate aging effects.
