Researchers have found that an human stem cells are constantly under stress in the microgravity of space, activating hidden, ancient sections of DNA, called the "dark genome." In a study published in the journal Cell Stem Cell last week, a team of researchers led by Sanford Stem Cell Institute director Catriona Jamieson used a cellphone-sized device on board the International Space Station to watch how stem cells behave in space for the first time. They found that donated bone marrow stem cells donated by hip replacement surgery patients aged faster on board the space station, which could deteriorate their ability […]
