Osteocyte plasma membrane disruptions in skeletal adaptation to loading and unloading.

Project: Research project

Project Details

Description

THE SKELETON S ABILITY TO ADAPT TO MECHANICAL LOADING IS CRUCIAL FOR BONE HEALTH AS EXERCISE PROMOTES HYPERTROPHY BUT DISUSE (SUCH AS FROM SPACEFLIGHT) LEADS TO BONE LOSS. WE WERE THE FIRST TO REPORT THAT SMALL TRANSIENT PLASMA MEMBRANE DISRUPTIONS
