Discoveries Mag - Inflammation in space
The Cedars-Sinai Regenerative Medicine Institute will study inflammaging in space, using complex organ-on-a-chip models of the heart, gut, and brain. Spaceflight appears to accelerate inflammaging in these models, allowing researchers to examine how altering age-related biomarkers in microgravity may ultimately improve aging and health on Earth.
