Last Published: 07/30/21 01:05:34 PM (Central)

Task Book: Entry Unavailable
Principal Investigator: Ferguson, Virginia

Short Title: Sclerostin Mice

Responsible HRP Element: Human Health Countermeasures

Collaborating Org(s):

National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI)

Funding Status: Completed - Task completed and produced a deliverable

Procurement Mechanism(s):

Solicited

Aims:

Aim 1: Determine the ability of SclAbII to inhibit diminished bone mass, mechanical properties, and microarchitecture due to microgravity exposure in 9-week old female C57BL/6 mice.

Aim 2: Using these same outcome measures, characterize the effects of microgravity on bone and muscle in mice treated only with the placebo.

Aim 3: Compare skeletal outcomes from mice treated with SclAbII (STS-135), myostatin inhibitor (STS-118), and osteoprotegerin (STS-108).

Aim 4: Facilitate STS-135 tissue collection for investigators in NASA’s biospecimen sharing program.
