Increased prevalence of precancerous changes in relatives of gastric cancer patients: critical role of H. pylori [PDF]

, 2000
Background & Aims:Helicobacter pylori is believed to predispose to gastric cancer by inducing gastric atrophy and hypochlorhydria. First-degree relatives of patients with gastric cancer have an increased risk of developing gastric cancer.

Cancer cell-derived exosomal miR-425-3p induces white adipocyte atrophy

Adipocyte, 2022
White adipose tissue wasting plays a critical role in the development and progression of cancer cachexia. However, the mechanism behind the loss of adipose tissue remains ill-defined.

HDAC4 preserves skeletal muscle structure following long-term denervation by mediating distinct cellular responses [PDF]

, 2018
BACKGROUND: Denervation triggers numerous molecular responses in skeletal muscle, including the activation of catabolic pathways and oxidative stress, leading to progressive muscle atrophy. Histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4) mediates skeletal muscle response

Association between cognitive performance and cortical glucose metabolism in patients with mild Alzheimer's disease [PDF]

, 2005
Background: Neuronal and synaptic function in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is measured in vivo by glucose metabolism using positron emission tomography (PET). Objective: We hypothesized that neuronal activation as measured by PET is a more sensitive index of

Spinal muscular atrophy [PDF]

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2011
Abstract Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disease characterized by degeneration of alpha motor neurons in the spinal cord, resulting in progressive proximal muscle weakness and paralysis. Estimated incidence is 1 in 6,000 to 1 in 10,000 live births and carrier frequency of 1/40-1/60.

AVRA: Automatic Visual Ratings of Atrophy from MRI images using Recurrent Convolutional Neural Networks

, 2018
Quantifying the degree of atrophy is done clinically by neuroradiologists following established visual rating scales. For these assessments to be reliable the rater requires substantial training and experience, and even then the rating agreement between ...

A key role for leukemia inhibitory factor in C26 cancer cachexia [PDF]

, 2015
Cachexia is an exacerbating event in many types of cancer that is strongly associated with a poor prognosis. We have identified cytokine, signaling, and transcription factors that are required for cachexia in the mouse C26 colon carcinoma model of cancer.

Supraphysiologic Administration of GDF11 Induces Cachexia in Part by Upregulating GDF15

Cell Reports, 2018
Summary: The age-related effects of GDF11 have been a subject of controversy. Here, we find that elevated GDF11 causes signs of cachexia in mice: reduced food intake, body weight, and muscle mass.

FAS-dependent cell death in α-synuclein transgenic oligodendrocyte models of multiple system atrophy [PDF]

, 2013
Multiple system atrophy is a parkinsonian neurodegenerative disorder. It is cytopathologically characterized by accumulation of the protein p25α in cell bodies of oligodendrocytes followed by accumulation of aggregated α-synuclein in so-called glial ...
