Adaptation of mouse skeletal muscle to long-term microgravity in the MDS mission.

Adaptation of mouse skeletal muscle to long-term microgravity in the MDS mission.

The effect of microgravity on skeletal muscles has so far been examined in rat and mice only after short-term (5-20 day) spaceflights.
