ISS040-E-130232 (9 Sept. 2014) --- European Space Agency astronaut Alexander Gerst, Expedition 40 flight engineer, installs a microscope for the Cell Mechanosensing-2 experiment in the Kibo laboratory of the International Space Station. The Japanese experiment, which is conducted in Kibo’s Kobairo rack, seeks to identify gravity sensors in cells that may change the expression of key proteins and genes and allowing muscles to atrophy in microgravity.
