Abstract
Consistent with findings first observed for NASA's One-Year Mission twin astronaut, Luxton et al. report spaceflight-specific telomere elongation in ISS crewmembers on shorter duration missions. Signatures of persistent DNA damage responses in the space radiation environment are also observed, providing potential mechanistic insight into telomere maintenance pathways during spaceflight.
