NIH scientists have discovered that age-related mutations in blood stem cells, a condition called CHIP, significantly increase the risk of heart disease by triggering chronic inflammation. The study explains how…
Researchers at Mount Sinai have discovered that spaceflight can lead to somatic mutations in the blood-forming stem cells of astronauts. These mutations, known as clonal hematopoiesis, were found at higher-than-expected…
Researchers at The Ottawa Hospital have identified the biological mechanism behind space anemia, a condition where astronauts lose red blood cells at an accelerated rate. The study reveals that microgravity…
