Abstract:

Ted Batemen, an associate professor in UNC and NC State’s Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering, helped design an experiment with NASA. The experiment sent mice into space to study bone tissue growth. Batemen’s team found that the placebo mice lost bone mass as expected, and the drug-treated mice gained bone.
