Analysis of the effects of spaceflight and local administration of thrombopoietin to a femoral defect injury on distal skeletal sites
Abstract With increased human presence in space, bone loss and fractures will occur. Thrombopoietin (TPO) is a recently patented bone healing agent. Here, we investigated the systemic effects of TPO on mice subjected to spaceflight and sustaining a bone fracture. Forty, 9-week-old, male, C57BL/6 J w...
