The purpose of this research is to determine the response of                    osteoblasts to flow and to ascertain what is the transducing physical           signal and what is the biological signal transduction pathway for the           signal.  Skeletal unloading, as a result of bad rest and                        weightlessness, has been shown to cause progressive bone loss.                  However, the mechanisms responsible for this phenomenon are largely             unknown.  Mechanical loading induces strains which cause pressure               gradients in the interstitial fluid and hence fluid flow.  The goal of          this research is to prove mechanical loading stimulates the                     osteoblasts.
