PlanHab (Planetary Habitat Simulation): the combined and separate effects of 21 days bed rest and hypoxic confinement on human skeletal muscle miRNA expression
1 Apr 2016
Abstract excerpt
The study concerns effects of 21 days of sustained bedrest and hypoxia, alone and in combination, on skeletal muscle microRNA (miRNA) expression. It is expected that astronauts undertaking long-duration missions will be exposed not only to microgravity but also to a hypoxic environment. The molecular machinery underlying microgravity-induced alterations in skeletal muscle structure and function is still largely...
