Description:
|
What does happen for musculoskeletal system when an astronaut stays in international Space Station for a long time? Could we reduce the negative effect of microgravity and radiation on our muscle? What are the molecular mechanisms by which muscle cells sense a change in mechanical loading and proportionally respond to it? Here at Cell Signaling and Redox Biology lab we are seeking answers to these questions
