Stem cell aging is accelerated by macroenvironmental and microenvironmental stressors, including inflammation. Previously, the NASA Twins study revealed inflammatory cytokine upregulation, chromosomal alterations, and telomere changes suggestive of accelerated aging in low-Earth orbit (LEO). To investigate the effects of spaceflight on human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) aging, the NASA-supported Integrated Space Stem Cell Orbital Research team performed four independent 30- to 45-day NASA missions with matched flight and ground HSPC nanobioreactors in automated CubeLabs. These experiments revealed loss of HSPC dormancy, reduced self-renewal capacity, mitochondrial DNA amplification, APOBEC3-induced C-to-T mutagenesis, reduced ADAR1p150 expression, and alterations in the expression of repetitive elements. These molecular changes are indicative of accelerated HSPC aging and pre-leukemia stem cell generation in space and may be predictable and preventable.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
