Last Published: 11/23/20 11:55:12 AM (Central)

Task Book: Entry Unavailable
Principal Investigator: Bouxsein, Mary

Short Title: Mouse G-Dose Response on JAXA-ISS

Responsible HRP Element: Human Health Countermeasures

Collaborating Org(s):

Other: JAXA

Space Biology Program

Funding Status: Active - Currently funded and in progress

Procurement Mechanism(s):

Solicited

Aims:

•Aim 1: Quantify effects of varying G-levels on neuromotor performance, as well as bone, muscle and joint structure and function in mice centrifuged aboard the ISS

•Aim 2: Determine cell and molecular mechanisms underlying the musculoskeletal and neuromotor response to microgravity and varying G-levels induced by centrifugation

Risk of Bone Fracture due to Spaceflight-induced Changes to Bone

Osteo 4: We don't know the contribution of each risk factor on bone loss and recovery of bone strength, and which factors are the best targets for countermeasure application.

Osteo 6: How do skeletal changes due to spaceflight modify the terrestrial risk of osteoporotic fractures?
