Multiomics and cellular senescence profiling of aging human skeletal muscle uncovers Maraviroc as a senotherapeutic approach for sarcopenia.

Cellular senescence is a hallmark of organismal aging but how it drives aging in human tissues is not fully understood. Here we leverage single nucleus multiomics to profile senescence in mononucleated cells of human skeletal muscle and provide the first...

Scutellarein attenuates cancer cachexia-induced muscle atrophy via targeted inhibition of the JAK/STAT pathway.

Cancer cachexia is a multifaceted metabolic syndrome characterized by severe loss of skeletal muscle and adipose tissue, diminishing both quality of life and survival in cancer patients. Despite its prevalence, effective treatments for cancer cachexia remain limited. The JAK/STAT signaling...

Aging induces sarcopenia by disrupting the crosstalk between the skeletal muscle microenvironment and myofibers.

Sarcopenia is a degenerative muscular disease associated with aging, characterized by a reduction in muscle mass and strength. This disease poses a significant global health challenge, owing to its high prevalence and association with adverse outcomes such as increased frailty,...

A serum creatinine-cystatin C-derived index as a predictive marker for sarcopenia incidence and progression in community-dwelling older adults: a prospective cohort study.

Identifying individuals at risk of sarcopenia incidence or progression remains challenging. Serum creatinine- and cystatin C-derived indices are objective markers of muscle metabolism; however, their predictive value for sarcopenia progression remains uncertain. This study evaluated the association between a creatinine-...

Pancreatic Cancer-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Enriched with miR-223-5p Promote Skeletal Muscle Wasting Associated with Cachexia.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) with cachexia-related muscle wasting as the main manifestation is associated with poor overall survival. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are key mediators of inter-organ communication. Here, EVs and EV-microRNAs (miRNAs) are identified as mediate PDAC-skeletal muscle communication. EVs...

Histidine decarboxylase inhibition attenuates cancer-associated muscle wasting.

Cancer cachexia is a multifactorial syndrome involving muscle and fat wasting, inflammation, and metabolic dysfunction. Across cancer subtypes, pancreatic cancer has one of the highest cachexia incidence rates at โˆผ80%. Given the advanced age of most pancreatic cancer patients, we...

Exercise-Induced Short-Chain Fatty Acids: A Novel Therapeutic Target in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with Sarcopenia.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus accompanied by sarcopenia is an emerging clinical challenge in aging populations, characterized by coexisting metabolic dysfunction and the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and function. This comorbidity substantially elevates the risk of frailty, functional impairment,...

Altered Relaxation and Mitochondria-Endoplasmic Reticulum Contacts Precede Major (Mal)Adaptations in Aging Skeletal Muscle and Are Prevented by Exercise.

Sarcopenia, or age-related muscle dysfunction, contributes to morbidity and mortality. Besides decreases in muscle force, sarcopenia is associated with atrophy and fast-to-slow fiber type switching, which is typically secondary to denervation in humans and rodents. However, very little is known...

The Interface of a Leaky Gut with Reduced Sarcopenia-Related Quality of Life (SarQoL) in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) frequently exhibit intestinal leaks and age-related muscle impairment, termed sarcopenia. The sarcopenia-related quality-of-life (SarQoL) is a tool to evaluate the quality of life of sarcopenic patients. However, the association of intestinal leak with...
