Spaceflight as a Model for Studying Age-Related Muscle Decline

Spaceflight as a Model for Studying Age-Related Muscle Decline
By Laurence Tognetti, MSc (https://ift.tt/TdVp2Zn)

How does spaceflight influence sarcopenia, which is a common age-related muscle decline, specifically for elder adults? This is what a recent study published in Stem Cell Reports hopes to address as a team of researchers investigated how microgravity influences muscle cell function. This study has the potential to help scientists, mission planners, astronauts, and the public better understand the long-term health impacts of microgravity on muscle decline and the steps that can be taken to mitigate it.
