A week in the microgravity of area ages muscle cells so that their hereditary activity looks comparable to Earth-bound cells that have actually been aging for many years. This finding might describe why spending quality time in area hinders muscle function.
We understand that astronauts are at danger of losing bone density and muscle mass due to incredibly low gravity in area. Now, Ngan Huang at Stanford University in California and her coworkers have actually evaluated the results of microgravity on muscle cell genes.
