Toward countering muscle and bone loss with spaceflight: GSK3 as a potential target

open access: yesiScience, 2023
Summary: We examined the effects of ∼30 days of spaceflight on glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) content and inhibitory serine phosphorylation in murine muscle and bone samples from four separate missions (BION-M1, rodent research [RR]1, RR9, and RR18 ...

Gravity-efficient motor control is associated with contraction-dependent intracortical inhibition

open access: yesiScience, 2023
Summary: In humans, moving efficiently along the gravity axis requires shifts in muscular contraction modes. Raising the arm up involves shortening contractions of arm flexors, whereas the reverse movement can rely on lengthening contractions with the ...
