(2016-12-02)Bisphosphonates have been shown to be an effective method to treat detrimental bone loss that is associated with osteoporosis. In microgravity, astronauts experience mechanical unloading of the skeleton. This can cause ...

(2016-12-07)Prolonged periods of reduced mechanical loading lead to physiological changes such as a reduction in muscle mass and strength. These morphological and functional changes are allowed to take place to regulate muscle mass, ...
