Onderzoeksproject

How green spaces (forests, parks, ect) can affect humans on a molecular level

Green spaces may yield many positive effects, such as better memory, behaviour and healthspan. The reason why is unknown. I will therefore examine telomere length, telomerase, insulin-like-growth factor 1 and -2 (IGF1 and -2), mainly in newborn, as this is the most sensitive time period in our lives towards external exposures.
