Researchers from the University of California San Diego have recently found that the human stem cells they sent to space have aged faster than the normal rate.

This came after researchers sent samples of human stem cells to the International Space Station (ISS) for about a month with special equipment detectors in place to monitor them.

Human Stem Cells Age Faster in Space Based on New Study

According to a new study published in the Cell Stem Cell journal, the samples sent to the ISS have been found to age rapidly and faster than expected during their monitoring.

Samples of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), known for being crucial to blood and immune cells formation, were sent to the ISS for around 32 to 45 days and were monitored by special nanobioreactors.
