TOKYO: Experiments on mice aboard the International Space Station have shown an internal protein has the potential to help slow the ageing process, according to a joint study by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency and Tohoku University.
While in space, the mice went through biological changes similar to ageing, only fast-forwarded, and the protein — called nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2, or Nrf2 — slowed down part of the transformation, JAXA said.
A team of scientists from the…
