Tiny Beating Hearts Orbiting Earth Could Reveal How Bodies Age

Original: Tiny Beating Hearts Orbiting The Earth Could Reveal How Bodies Age

Lab-grown heart tissue is being studied aboard orbiting spacecraft, where microgravity appears to accelerate aging-like changes in cells. Researchers hope observations of these tiny beating hearts in space will shed light on how human bodies age and point to ways to slow the process, with implications for both astronauts' health and medicine on Earth.

Why now: Space-based research linking microgravity to cellular aging offers potential breakthroughs for longevity science
