Space Seed Holdings Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, Representative: Kengo Suzuki, hereinafter referred to as Space Seed Holdings) announced the launch of the Space Seed Holdings Co., Ltd. × Longevity seminar” (Sponsored by: Sustainable Food
Asia Inc.), we presented cutting-edge research on aging care in outer space and its possibilities. The theme of this seminar was human health in space, and discussions were held on the effects of the space environment on the human body and countermeasures.
Health risks posed by the space environment and countermeasures In outer space, there is a harsh environment different from that on Earth, such as microgravity and radiation, and there are concerns that this may lead to the loss of muscle and bone and the acceleration of cell aging. Space Seed Holdings has identified potential solutions to address these issues, including the development of personalized bioactive drugs using knowledge from exosome research and the application of gene editing technology to combat accelerated aging. I did.
Future aging care and health maintenance in space
He also mentioned the possibility that in the future, with the development of technology to produce exosomes and organoids using automated cell culture in space, anti-aging care that is optimized for individual astronauts will be implemented. I did. These research results are expected to not only contribute to maintaining human health in outer space, but also have a major impact on the health and longevity of people on Earth.
Future prospects
Space Seed Holdings aims to further advance research on aging care in the space environment and build the foundation for humans to live healthy lives in space in the future. Through this seminar, we were able to exchange opinions related to the development of new healthcare solutions in space. Going forward, we will continue to promote the development of innovative healthcare technologies that can be used both on Earth and in space, and contribute to the realization of a healthy and long-lived society.
