This video summarises the Aging Cell (2026) short communication “Astronauts as a Human Aging Model: Epigenetic Age Responses to Space Exposure” by Fuentealba et al. (PMID: 41521572) The paper asks a simple but provocative question: does spaceflight accelerate biological ageing? By tracking multiple DNA methylation-based ageing clocks in astronauts before, during, and after a short mission to the International Space Station, the authors probe how extreme environmental stressors shape epigenetic age in real time.
