Thymic Microenvironment Remodeling in Cancer Cachexia as a Determinant of Checkpoint Inhibitor Efficacy and Toxicity.

The discovery of immune checkpoints links autoimmunity and cancer, with thymus atrophy reportedly causing autoimmune multiorgan inflammation. The impact of cancer cachexia on thymic involution and its clinical significance remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate this effect and its...

Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 and Sarcopenia in Maintenance Haemodialysis Population.

Sarcopenia is defined as the loss of muscle mass, strength, and/or performance. It is strongly associated with all-cause mortality. Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is markedly elevated in patients with chronic kidney disease, especially those receiving maintenance dialysis. FGF23 has...

Aged-Related Fibroblast Activation Protein Expression in Skeletal Muscles Evaluated by PET Imaging.

Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is prominently involved in the tumour microenvironment and tissue remodelling processes in most cancers, and its expression is also noted in normal skeletal muscle. This study aims to explore the relationship between FAP expression and age-related...

Muscle fibroblasts and stem cells stimulate motor neurons in an age and exercise-dependent manner.

Exercise preserves neuromuscular function in aging through unknown mechanisms. Skeletal muscle fibroblasts (FIB) and stem cells (MuSC) are abundant in skeletal muscle and reside close to neuromuscular junctions, but their relative roles in motor neuron maintenance remain undescribed. Using direct...
