CELLULAR MECHANOTRANSDUCTION OF HUMAN OSTEOBLASTS IN MICROGRAVITY

Abstract Astronauts experience BELT significant and rapid bone loss as a result of an extended stay in space, making the International Space Station (ISS) the perfect laboratory for studying osteoporosis due to the accelerated nature of bone loss on the ISS.This prompts the question, how does the lack of load due to zero-gravity propagate to bone-f
