insider brief A new Guy Foundation report highlights the potential for quantum biology to address long-term health risks for astronauts, particularly through insights into cellular aging and mitochondrial dysfunction caused by space conditions. . This research shows that space-specific factors such as radiation and microgravity can destroy mitochondria, the energy centers of cells, accelerate biological aging, increase oxidative stress, and impair the health of astronauts on long-duration missions. This suggests that there is a possibility of damage. While the findings are aimed at space health, they also have the potential to improve treatments for age-related diseases on Earth, making quantum…
