Spring 2020- The Study of Cell Signaling Involves in Mechanical-unloading – microgravity – Induced Muscle Atrophy

Project Leader: Amin Mohajeri
am1@tamu.edu
Health & Kinesiology
Faculty Mentor:
Dr. John M Lawler, Ph.D.
Meeting Times:
TBD
Team Size:
7 (Team Full)
Open Spots: 0
Special Opportunities:
Learning principles about muscle atrophy, hands-on research, etc; and unique opportunity in working in the exciting research area of space biology.
Team Needs: Looking for up to 3 eager students to do some exciting hands-on research in wet-lab.
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
