His telomeres（染色体端粒）, structures which break over time as part of the natural aging process, lengthened in space. But that didnt necessarily mean being younger, the study found, because most te
43、lomeres shortened dramatically when he returned to Earth. Months later, tests showed that slight changes in telomeres length still remained and left some influence on Scott Kelly, which means he and his brother are no longer identical twins. He might be at some increased risk for cardiovascular dise
