iss068e021879 (11/11/2022) --- A view of the Cellular Mechanotransduction by Osteoblasts CubeLab aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The Cellular Mechanotransduction by Osteoblasts in Microgravity (Cellular Mechanotransduction by Osteoblasts) investigation uses a special device to measure the stiffness of human osteoblasts, cells involved in the formation of bone. This research provides insight into techniques for measuring the stiffness of osteoblasts, which could be combined with other research on Earth to help people who have or could develop osteoporosis.
