However, research has shown that telomeres lengthen during spaceflight, but shrink when astronauts return to Earth.

Key Points: 
  • However, research has shown that telomeres lengthen during spaceflight, but shrink when astronauts return to Earth.
  • To better understand why this happens and what role it plays in the aging process, high school student Pristine Onuoha turned to the microgravity environment of space .
  • As part of an investigation supported by the International Space Station (ISS) National Laboratory, Onuoha designed an experiment to test a method that could measure telomere lengthening in space.
  • In her project, Onuoha started out trying to understand the mechanisms behind telomere lengthening, which could improve our understanding of aging, cancer development, and how the body heals itself.
