N2 - Bone loss is a serious concern for human-based space exploration, and to date, it has not been adequately counteracted. Here, we provide preliminary data showing that low magnitude and high frequency mechanical vibration prevents decreased bone formation caused by simulated microgravity using the Random Positioning Machine. Experiments were performed for 3 days, and 2T3 preosteoblast cells were exposed to a vibration of 0.3g magnitude and at 30Hz frequency for 10 minutes/day before measuring ALP activity, a marker of cell differentiation. Thus, brief daily exposure of low magnitude and high frequency mechanical signals may countermeasure bone loss in spaceflight.
