Neuromuscular junction instability and altered intracellular calcium handling as early determinants of force loss during unloading in humans

Key points Few days of unloading are sufficient to induce a decline of skeletal muscle mass and function; notably, contractile force is lost at a faster rate than muscle mass. The reasons behind this disproportionate loss of muscle force are still poorly understood. We provide strong evidence of two...
