Chemotherapy-induced muscle wasting: an update
European Journal of Translational Myology, 2018 The majority of cancers are associated to cachexia, a severe form of weight loss mostly accounted for by skeletal muscle wasting. Cancer patients are often treated with chemotherapy, whose side effects are at times neglected or underestimated ...

Muscle-tendon cross talk during muscle wasting [PDF]
American Journal of Physiology-Cell Physiology, 2021 In organisms from flies to mammals, the initial formation of a functional tendon is completely dependent on chemical signals from muscles (myokines). However, how myokines affect the maturation, maintenance, and regeneration of tendons as a function of age is completely unstudied.

MicroRNAs in muscle wasting [PDF]
Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2018 Skeletal muscle makes up approximately 40% of the total body mass; it is essential in providing structural support, to regulate motion and as an energy store, thereby playing a major role in the overall metabolism. Skeletal muscle retains a high plasticity in order to respond to various stimuli, which subsequently lead to changes in gene transcription ...

The role of extracellular vesicles in skeletal muscle wasting
Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2023 Skeletal muscle wasting is a complicated metabolic syndrome accompanied by multiple diseases ranging from cancer to metabolic disorders and infectious conditions. The loss of muscle mass significantly impairs muscle function, resulting in poor quality of

Nutrient modulation in the management of disease-induced muscle wasting: evidence from human studies [PDF]
, 2017 Purpose of review: In addition to being essential for movement, skeletal muscles act as both a store and source of key macronutrients. As such, muscle is an important tissue for whole body homeostasis, undergoing muscle wasting in times of starvation ...
