SCIENTISTS DISCOVER ENZYME THAT COULD SLOW PART OF THE AGING PROCESS IN 
ASTRONAUTS AND THE ELDERLY

According to the article, researchers have found an enzyme called
5-lipoxygenase and it helps in reduction of cell deaths induced by microgravity environments and that can help reduce the space condition (health problems) that mimic the aging process on earth. With this discovery, the researchers hope it will create a way to reduce the aging process on earth.
