Jumping may protect astronauts’ knee cartilage from microgravity damage. Studies on mice show it increases bone density.

They found that muscles slimmed down in all but two mice strains, suggesting that some strains were resilient to muscle loss. Next, Donahue and his team tested whether three weeks in simulated space ...

Previous research has shown that treadmill running may help slow cartilage breakdown in rodents. The new Johns Hopkins study ...

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 ...

NASA-backed research finds jump training grows cartilage by 26%, protecting astronauts' knees for Mars missions. Could ...

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 ...
