0.33g mitigates muscle atrophy while 0.67g preserves muscle function and myofiber type composition in mice during spaceflight.

Ryosuke Tsuji, Ryo Fujita, Takuto Hayashi et al. · Science Advances · 2026

From the methods
Mouse grip strength was tested before and immediately following live animal return using a 50-N capacity grip strength meter (Conduct Science, Skokie, IL, USA). The person performing the grip strength testing was blinded to the experimental conditions during flight.
Age-related transcriptional drift and physiological adaptation in long-living Ames dwarf skeletal muscle

Kingsley Mokube Ekumi, Matthew J Johnston, Michelle Pauley Murphy et al. · NAR Molecular Medicine · 2026

From the methods
Grip strength measurements were performed using the Maze Engineers Grip Strength Instrument (Skokie, IL, USA) and accompanying software.
Estrogen Receptor Alpha (ERα) Is Involved in Resveratrol-Mediated Muscle Preservation During Mechanical Unloading in Male Rats

David Ayi-Bonte, Samantha Dworacek, James Madden et al. · Muscles · 2026

From the methods
Using a 50 N digital grip force meter (Maze Engineers, Skokie, IL, USA), both front and hindlimb grip force were measured twice weekly.
Genetic depletion of the early autophagy protein ATG13 impairs mitochondrial energy metabolism, augments oxidative stress, induces the polarization of macrophages to the M1 inflammatory mode, and compromises myelin integrity in skeletal muscle.

Mubaraq A Toriola, Emma Timlin, Sarojini Bulbule et al. · Inflammation Research · 2026

From the methods
...and NTg mice aged 10–12 weeks (n = 6) were tested using a rectangular grid attached to a console (Maze Engineers) that records grip force (Newton) over time, displayed via Grip TestUI (version 1.0.0.0)...
Central biogenic amine deficiency with concomitant exploratory behavioral deficits in Dnajc12 knock-out mice

Isaac Bul Deng, Jordan Follett, Jesse D. Fox et al. · NPJ Parkinson's Disease · 2025

From the methods
...grid by the mouse is recorded by the force sensor and analyzed with the Grip Strength software (Maze Engineers, Skokie, IL, USA).
Clearance of intracranial debris by ultrasound reduces inflammation and improves outcomes in hemorrhagic stroke models.

Matine M Azadian, Sepideh Kiani Shabestari, Arjun Rajan et al. · Nature Biotechnology · 2025

From the methods
For the grip strength test, motor function was assessed via the peak force (G) required for mice to release their grip from a grid bar as quantified by a digital grip strength meter (Maze Engineers).
Growth hormone-deficient Ames dwarf mice resist sarcopenia and exhibit enhanced endurance running performance at 24 months

Matthew J Johnston, Sharlene G Rakoczy, LaDora V Thompson et al. · GeroScience · 2025

From the methods
