Peptide OH‐CATH30 Mitigates Cachexia‐Induced Muscle Atrophy via Modulation of TLR4‐Associated Inflammation

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Cachexia, characterized by severe weight loss and muscle atrophy, frequently occurs in chronic conditions such as sepsis, cancer and chemotherapy, with limited effective treatments. Despite similar clinical manifestations, the underlying mechanisms across different disease contexts remain unclear.

The many dimeric faces of Lys49 PLA2‐like proteins: Conformational plasticity and membrane binding drive functional dimer states

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Lys49 secreted phospholipase A2‐like proteins (sPLA2s) are major myotoxins in viperid snake venoms, causing rapid muscle damage in envenomation. Beyond their clinical relevance, these small non‐catalytic proteins provide a model to study how quaternary structure and conformational dynamics enable catalysis‐independent membrane disruption ...
