The Observatory of the Future in Dubai bulletin reported the scientific tale about the "muscle twisted" mice recently returning from space, noting that the space capsule Spice Dragon X that landed in the Pacific Ocean during the seventh of this month, brought a shipment weighing about 1724 kilograms from the space station International.
She explained that the shipment included 40 mice, eight of which applied genetic engineering to grow and grow their muscles. After returning to Earth, "Powerful Mice" will reveal secrets that help astronauts stay healthy on their travels.
The 40 mice arrived at the International Space Station on December 8, to be part of Rodent-19's experiment, which aims to improve scientists' understanding of the effect of microgravity on muscle loss and bone erosion.
