In vitro relationships of galactic cosmic radiation and epigenetic clocks in human bronchial epithelial cells
Link to the paper: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35470505/ Ionizing radiation, a known health risk, was studied for its impact on DNA methylation-based markers of biological age in human bronchial epithelial cells. High-LET 56Fe ions were significantly associated with accelerated epigenetic clock epiTOC2, indicating potential utility of epigenetic clocks in monitoring the health effects of galactic cosmic radiation.
