Abstract Space sojourns are challenging for life. The ability of the human body to adapt to
these extreme conditions has been noted since the beginning of human space travel …

Micro–computed tomography (μCT) has become essential for analysis of mineralized as
well as nonmineralized tissues and is therefore widely applicable in the life sciences …

Spaceflight results in reduced mechanical loading of the skeleton, which leads to dramatic

The purpose of this systematic review is twofold: 1) to identify, evaluate, and synthesize the
heretofore disparate scientific literatures regarding the effects of direct exposure to …

Gravity has an important role in both the development and maintenance of bone mass. This
is most evident in the rapid and intense bone loss observed in both humans and animals …

The health of astronauts during and after the return from long-haul space missions is
paramount. There is plethora of research in the literature about the medical side of …

Despite a wealth of data on the effects of spaceflight on tendons and bones, little is known
about its effects on the interfacial tissue between these two structures, the enthesis. Mice …
