MyoRep: A Novel Reporter System to Detect Early Muscle Atrophy In Vitro and In Vivo
ABSTRACT Background Muscle atrophy occurs during physiological (i.e., fasting) and pathological conditions (i.e., cancer) and anticipates death. Since not all patients will undergo muscle wasting, it would be highly useful to identify them soon to intervene early.

Gut microbiota and regulation of myokine-adipokine function
Both skeletal muscle and adipose tissue are considered as endocrine organs due to their ability to produce and secrete several bioactive peptides (e.g. myokines and adipokines).

Ageing‐Associated Dysregulation of Myogenic Differentiation in Inclusion Body Myositis
ABSTRACT Skeletal muscle is a postmitotic tissue dependent on a complex and tightly regulated regeneration process involving numerous intracellular and extracellular factors, including myogenic regulatory factors (MRFs), cytokines and myokines. Quiescent satellite cells are activated by physiological stimuli, injury or other traumatic insults for the ...

RAGE Re‐Expressed at Myofibre Level Drives Muscle Wasting in Cancer Conditions
ABSTRACT Background Cancer cachexia (CC) is a highly debilitating syndrome characterized by loss of body and muscle weight affecting most advanced cancer patients. The receptor for advanced glycation end‐products (RAGE) is expressed by several cell types and sustains the inflammatory response in acute and chronic diseases. Total ablation of RAGE (Ager−/

Myokines in alcoholic myopathy
Objective Interleukin (IL)-15 is highly expressed in skeletal muscles, where it exerts anabolic effects, increase protein content in muscle fibres and promotes muscle growth. Alcoholics frequently suffer myopathy. Therefore, we analyse the level of IL-15 [and other myokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)] in alcoholics.

ABSTRACT Background Peripheral nerve injury‐induced muscle atrophy shares core pathophysiological features with systemic wasting disorders including cachexia and sarcopenia, yet early molecular triggers remain undefined. This study investigates the pathogenic role of receptor‐interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) in denervation atrophy.

Exercise-Induced Irisin, the Fat Browning Myokine, as a Potential Anticancer Agent
Irisin is a recently discovered myokine that plays an important role in fat metabolism through the browning of white adipose tissue. This myokine is usually secreted after exercise by improving energy balance and has shown great potential as a possible ...

Background: Irisin, a myokine that is responsive to exercise, induces significant changes in subcutaneous adipose tissue. By promoting the browning of white fat tissue, it enhances energy expenditure, thereby addressing overweight and obesity.
