   'Mighty mice' stay musclebound in space, boon for astronauts   
      
   CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) -- Bulked-up, mutant "mighty mice" held onto   
   their muscle during a monthlong stay at the International Space   
   Station, returning to Earth with ripped bodybuilder physiques,   
   scientists reported Monday.   
      
   The findings hold promise for preventing muscle and bone loss in   
   astronauts on prolonged space trips like Mars missions, as well as   
   people on Earth who are confined to bed or need wheelchairs.   
      
   A research team led by Dr. Se-Jin Lee of the Jackson Laboratory in   
   Connecticut sent 40 young female black mice to the space station in   
   December, launching aboard a SpaceX rocket.
