Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a mouse breeding cage for simulating a weightless environment. Background technique
[0002] With the advancement of science and technology, space exploration has become an important field of human development. Astronauts lose the effect of gravity in space, and this weightless environment will have different effects on various tissues of the human body. Gravity, which cannot be ignored in the physical environment of cells, is necessary to maintain biological processes in most tissues throughout the body, and plays a crucial role in regulating bone remodeling and homeostasis in particular. The weightless environment during spaceflight causes significant bone loss in weight-bearing bones at a rate of approximately 1-2% per month. Therefore, how to overcome the effect of gravity on the surface to simulate a weightless environment is the premise and key for researchers to carry out various weightlessness research.
