Putting the Brakes on Muscle Breakdown

Short film · 1 min

Synopsis

Rodent Research-6 is a two-fold investigation aboard the International Space Station into the treatment of muscle loss in spaceflight, which may have implications for patients on Earth with muscle-wasting diseases. The experiment will study the effectiveness of a drug compound as well as the nano-channel drug delivery implant, a device implanted beneath the skin of the patient allowing for a constant, steady delivery of the drug.
