Scientists find protein that can help slow ageing process while studying ISS-return mice

A study on mice that were sent to International Station (ISS) suggests that an internal protein has potential to slow down ing process. study, which was conducted by Japanese ncy JAXA and Tohoku University, revealed that an internal protein called nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2, or Nrf2 slowed down transformation induced by ing.

According to Japan Times, 12 mice were sent to International Station in 2018, onboard a X Falcon 9 rocket. mice spent a total of 31 days in microgravity environment, where riation is said to be stronger than Earth and can trigger loss of bone density and or physical deteriorations. As per report, a group of mice was genetically modified to lack Nef2 protein, while or half went without any mutations. study revealed that mice that went to ISS without Nrf2 protein witnessed a faster transformation.

study revealed that mice that went to ISS without Nrf2 protein did t gain weight despite consuming similar amounts of food and water as or group that h Nrf2 protein. study can help develop drugs to treat illnesses caused by ing such as diabetes and Alzheimer’s. study can also help in development of treatments related to flight illnesses and can also benefit astronauts in many or ways.
