Aging and Fragility Biomarkers are Altered by Spaceflight
Parallels between spaceflight and the aging process may extend to encompass frailty. Figure Left: Venn diagram of differentially expressed frailty genes in rodent and human samples shows the common differentially expressed genes between the two species. Figure Right: Schematic of the Inspiration4 experiments and samples. This study relied on data from the OSDR, including 7 [...]
