The research adds to ongoing efforts by space agencies to protect astronauts against deconditioning/getting out of shape due ...
Space poses unique challenges to astronaut health, from bone loss to muscle deterioration. At Wake Forest University, scientists are using mice in space to study these effects and develop ...
After a week of stress, mice show changes in how their brains process sound, reducing how well they perceive loud noises, ...
It localized along damaged cell membranes and muscle was regenerated," Escobar says. As part of this project, the researchers developed a new mouse model in collaboration with Dr. Ralf Kühn ...
In an effort to study behavioral adaptation to space, researchers report the first analysis of mice flown in the NASA Rodent Habitat to the International Space Station, published on April 11 in ...
