Student’s research aims to uncover new biomarkers for Krabbe disease

Krabbe disease is a rare, inherited neurological disease that most commonly affects infants, but can also present later in life, including during adolescence and very rarely in adulthood, according to the NIH’s National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. Current clinical laboratory testing identifies individuals with Krabbe disease, but it is challenging to provide a […]

Aging and Fragility Biomarkers are Altered by Spaceflight

Spaceflight accelerates the symptoms of aging in astronaut bodies by inducing genomic instability, mitochondrial dysfunction, and increased inflammation. This is the first study to comprehensively examine biomarkers and pathways associated with spaceflight and terrestrial aging, frailty, and sarcopenia. Main Findings: Spaceflight induced notable changes in gene expression patterns related to frailty and muscle loss indicative […]
